Daniel James Shellabarger (known as Suelo, born 1961) is an American simple living adherent who stopped using money in the autumn of 2000.[1] He was born in Arvada, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, and currently lives part-time in a cave near Moab, Utah when he is not wandering the country.[1]

Suelo gained notoriety in October 2009 when his profile appeared in the US men's style print magazine Details.[2] This story was picked up by websites such as The Guardian in the UK,[3] The Huffington Post,[4] and Matador Change.[5] He was also interviewed for the BBC in September 2009,[6] by The Denver Post[7] in November 2009, and the Brazilian INFO[8] in November 2009. His story has since been repeated by many websites and news agencies around the world. Suelo was the subject of a 2006 video profile entitled Moneyless in Moab (2006), by Gordon Stevenson[9] and a 2009 video profile entitled Zero Currency (2009), by Brad Barber[10] as well as being featured on KBYU's Beehive Stories (2010), also by Brad Barber.[11] His biography, The Man Who Quit Money, was written by Mark Sundeen and published by Riverhead/Penguin in 2012. Suelo states he is not accepting proceeds from the book. A short film about Suelo, narrated by Mark Sundeen, is on BBC News Online.[12]

Suelo is one of a number of individuals who voluntarily live without money. These also include Heidemarie Schwermer, Mark Boyle and Tomi Astikainen.[13][14][15] Suelo appeared as a guest writer on Mark Boyle's blog in January 2011.[16]
