ABOUT ME

Multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, artist, world traveler/rambler, life experiencer, food eater!

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, there is something to take away from every place visited, person met, instrument played, day lived. Listen to the stories of the earth, its people, and its art. Practice experience while keeping your mind, heart, ears, and eyes open always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On the outskirts of Tokyo, I met a 90-year-old woman selling vegetables from her garden. She told me that every year she makes herself learn something new or travel somewhere. In the past ten years she had gotten married, learned to swim, learned to crochet, picked up vegetable-growing, and bicycles everywhere she goes.

No one is ever done growing, it's never too late!
