CURRENT MISSION

learning and creating.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and exploring new places. Generally, I'll be one of the quieter people in a group but always have fun. I strive to appreciate everyone for who they are and understand their different ways of viewing and experiencing this life.

I love to cook! Trying new foods, making new foods, and sharing a good meal with someone always makes me happy. I like going to farmers markets and using local ingredients.

I'm a theater technician, focused on lighting and sound. It's hands on and I'm learning new skills all the time. I've designed lights and sound for several shows and have composed/arranged music for Shakespeare plays. I'd love to hear about theater or other performances in your area.

PHILOSOPHY

Without getting too deep...I enjoy life and believe I can help make the world a more beautiful place. I love working on theater or other art that will touch people's lives in a way they'll remember. There's always something new to learn about the world that will help me make connections with the people here. That drives me to listen to music I haven't heard before, try new things, and explore the area I live in so I don't get stuck in my own little rut.
