As the Summer begins to unoffically wind down and we are transitioning into new projects and landscapes
This week we are proud to introduce you to Brad Armstrong in our final AmeriCorps introduction.
Brad, a native of New Haven, CT with the traveing heart of a pilgrim decided to work with *cino after searching for over decade for something that felt right.
“The short answer [on joining *cino] is that it’s a great mission driven organization doing work that matters. I’ve been looking for something like this to commit to and do vocationally, that combines community and sustainable practices with mission driven work. Community development is my jam.”
His decision to work with AmeriCorps came on the heels of the Coronavirus pandemic. Brad feels 
that ” serving others is the only thing that matters in this crazy world, and this is what I want to do personally and professionally” so a year with AmeriCorps felt like a solid choice.
During his year with AmeriCorps, Brad is working hard to complete some personal and professional goals. “I’m using this opportunity to get a Diploma in Permaculture, and I’m in an eco-spirituality/eco-psychology program called Seminary of the Wild. I value relationships, and although I never expected to find myself in Michigan I really like it so far, Three Rivers an amazing community and place, and I’m really excited to explore more of the Great Lakes region while I’m here.”
When not schemeing up ways to save the world, Brad enjoys music, especially DJ electronic dance styles, sustainability, food, cities, and wilderness. Also, he loves nature and outdoor sports like skiing and hiking. And animals, especially dogs.
Stop by this week at the market and say “howdy” to Brad while you are there.
