ABOUT ME

I am a "racial chameleon" who looks like he could be from about any country you could think of... except for Sweden and co. I loved the Balkans because of how much passion people had for life there. I loved East Africa because of how interested people are in one another. I tell stories with lots of hand movements. I can wiggle my ears.

PHILOSOPHY

Jah, or whoever he is, works in mysterious ways.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will tell you all about it when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh man, if anyone is interested in my university thesis paper on Jerusalem's role in reggae music and Rastafari, I will explain to you IN DETAIL the entire story: Solomon and Sheba, their illegitimate child Menyelik, the theft of the Ark of the Covenant and its relocation to Ethiopıa (or so they say), how it ties into the Rastafarian interpretation of the Bible, how it can be seen in the lyrics of the music, and much much more.

(Is it weird that a dude from Texas raised Catholic spent so much time researching this topic? That is for you to decide).
