Jack Kocher grew up in New York, but left when he was 17. Between when he left and when he returned last May, Kocher lived in Oregon, was a wild land firefighter, appeared in federal court for his activism, participated in Occupy Miami, grew pot for a short time, and once spent a month living at the top of a 200 foot Douglas Fir Tree. When he came back to New York, Kocher initially lived in Central Park for about a year, until bubbling got him enough money to rent a small apartment in Staten Island. Kocher still hides the bucket he uses fro bubbling in the park, in a spot now occupied by a homeless person's camp. Kocher says the homeless man is okay with him keeping his bucket there, but that he "doesn’t really talk." Despite having moved out of Central Park and into an apartment, Kocher has his mail delivered to a homeless shelter in All Angels' Episcopal Church on the Upper West Side. Kocher was expecting two important documents; details about a photo-shoot he was doing the next day, and his adoptive father's will. Neither one was in today's mail.
