He supports the theory that the earth is one living thing and feels that humans should understand nature, live with nature, and be equal to nature. He received a BFA in sculpture from RISD and MFA in photography NYU. Since 1995, he has been working with a group of friends on reforestation projects replanting native South Atlantic tropical rain forest trees.

Summary: Oahaca-haca! 2010-08-29
Comment: I love this toy! It's the 7th Kikkerland toy in my collection. All Kikkerlands are interesting even just to look at as you marvel at the robot-like construction. And they never fail to bring smiles and laughter as soon as you wind them up and put them to work.
Summary: My Pick 2010-05-01
Comment: I bought this [awa Cosmojetz & Awiki] and with it's unique "string-pull wind-up action", I rate it best!
Awiki's a close 2nd, what with sparks flying out the rear as it skitters across the floor.
They all seem well made, well thought out and very smartly packaged.
Do note the they run for just 5 to 10 seconds on each winding.
Summary: very cute 2010-01-24
Comment: My daughter collects these and I've given several as gifts. They are good for pre-teens and teens who like gagets. This one is different in that you pull the white plug and it is wound by a string. It has a fairly long jump time compared to some of the other Kikkerland mechanical toys and it tends to stay upright on a flat surface.
Summary: cute 2009-12-09
Comment: I have a collection of kikkerland "toys" and this is by far one of the most creative with the head dangling on a string as it dances to place its head back in place. it works best on hard surfaces. love this design - definitely one of my favorites.
Summary: What fun! 2008-08-21
Comment: Ten of the wind-up toys in this category were purchased to give to my many male relatives who are otherwise hard to buy for - three sons, a brother, and a bunch of teen-age grandsons. Oahaca is a humorous, or perhaps I should say downright silly, toy that works well as a conversation piece on a man's desk and as a goofy amusement for a teen. It is totally pointless, which is a great part of its charm. This toy, or one of its siblings, has been the hit of several birthday parties, never failing to put a smile on many a face with its bouncy, frenetic action. (The question often put to me is "Where do you find this great stuff?" Thank you, Amazon.com!)
