I'm an actor, musician, and teacher. I'm currently taking a year long trip around the world with my partner, Aurelia, and looking for awesome people to meet and to learn from. I love to journal, and write Sonnets. For about 9 years I've been a principal character at a few Renaissance Faires across America, and I am really really into Shakespeare. I've been on the road for about six years working said ren faire.

I like to play music, and would consider myself a capable bassist and passable guitarist; I will always be up for a jam.

I grew up in the Midwest of America, Missouri to be specific, on a small farm. The great outdoors, animals, and all things natural are a balm to my soul.

Reading Shantaram, by Gregory David Roberts, which is fabulous beyond compare and would recommend to anyone! Terry Pratchett was an actor I recently discovered and I have delighted in his books, reading one per week for the last several months.

Most recently adventure took me to Adelaide Australia to perform in the fringe festival. Before that I went to Rishikesh India to study yoga! I could chat about these places for ages.
