Pilipili was born in the suburbs of Detroit to a wealthy family in the auto industry.  He lived a rather privileged life until the GM debaucle in then 80's, at which time, his parents and he (yes, he was still living with them) decided to start anew in another country.  They found themselves in London, England, where the launched an auto repair shop, and became quite successful specializing in foreign Gnomemobiles.


Even though Pilipili swore he would never leave his parents, a fateful days brought him to a tomatory in search of the perfect tomato red for a new sports car he was engineering.  It was then and there that he met his "brothers" anddecided to devote his life to their cause.


Pilipili is often the last to show up at meetings, and he is usually in the shadows at parties, but his heart is huge and his passion for clean water in Africa is a driving force for the team.


Likes:  auto mechanics, knitting, faux fur, Monty Python, the Nature Channel, starched pants, unicycling and Cajun music.


Dislikes:  big crowds, aggressive women, forest fires, the show Lost, snakes, working on the weekends, English cuisine and Greenland

Pilipili misses his friends in Oakland

Jason took such good care of Pilipili when he traveled to Oakland, that the little guy is kinda bummed to be gone.  Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and exposure for our cause, Jason!
