CURRENT MISSION

Be moved by the world.

ABOUT ME

Curious person seeking to live the world and share my stories with others. I was raised around the East Coast of the US, with my family finally settling down on a small family farm in a rural area of Northern Kentucky. Thus, I have developed a taste for Bluegrass and Bourbon over the years. I used to study conflict in Israel with a focus on the indigenous Bedouin populations, but I now work in urban planning and neighborhood revitalization in the Boston area.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and be loved.
