CURRENT MISSION

To live fully in the present moment with every breath. And to eat a donut.

...and, hopefully, when I'm finished moving into my new place, host cool travelers!

ABOUT ME

I write, and love travel and learning new languages. I also give theatre and writing workshops for youth around the world--most recently in Palestine and Northern Ireland. I love a hot bath. I drink tea--constantly. I sing in the car. I eat donuts. And spinach.

Let's have a beer! Or something like that :)

PHILOSOPHY

Take care of yourself. Enjoy it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone flying over a pickup truck in motion.

Poked fish with a stick in a pond near my Grandmother's house, with my younger brother.

Sang show tunes as my clothes dried in a refugee camp.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots about modern theatre and music notation. I will teach you how to play most any tune you want on the piano, and engage in extended, ridiculous improv games with you in public.

I'm also a decent gardener, and know lots of plant names.

England, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Palestine, United States
