CURRENT MISSION

After a year and a half of traveling I decided to move to Phoenix, AZ in 2016. I've been enjoying exploring Phoenix and the southwest US since then. If you are in the Phoenix area and are interested in yoga, acroyoga, vegan food or technology get in touch and let's meet up.

ABOUT ME

My undergraduate degree is in computer science and I had a successful career in the technology field (video, wireless, telecom). I lived in New York City for 10 years before taking off to travel around the US and southeast Asia. I hosted a number of people from all over the world while living in NYC and had a great experience doing that.

PHILOSOPHY

Do your best, be nice to everyone.

It's hard to pick one but what comes to mind is doing a very high cliff jump into rough ocean water in Hawaii!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Part of my vision for traveling has been to help hosts in areas where I have skills. So far I've enjoyed helping with yoga, meditation, preparing food, home projects, organizing, reducing clutter, and technology. I also know some acroyoga and Thai massage that I've found people really enjoy learning.
