CURRENT MISSION

Il Sud Italia

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back and always pursue good humor in a group. I prefer to be social and enjoy conversation about any subject. I just finished a graduate studies program at the University of California Santa Cruz and am now trying to learn a little Italian and see a little of Italy before returning back to the States.

PHILOSOPHY

1. The survive is not enough. You must also live.

2. People are books that should never be burnt

3. Slow down and enjoy everything.

Interests

I love performance. I studied Theater in college and hope to continue my work in the theater. In my spare time I like to draw. It's my form of meditation. I also enjoy hiking, camping, and river kayaking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was working on a performance as a Scenic Designer. This was my second time designing scenery for Theater. The day had come to erect a group of giant pillars that I had designed. The scenery was almost too large for the theater! It was amazing to see something that I had drawn 4 weeks ago dominating a theater. We were all ants in visual wake of the scenery!

While Kayaking in California, I had just finished a run though some spectacular rapids. I was about to pull over to the coast to stop for lunch when I saw a deer. The Deer was stopping to drink from the river. The moment was so serine that I was completely shocked to see a cougar come of the bushes, preying on the deer. The deer caught sight of the cougar and ran off with the predator in hot pursuit. Life and it's fragility flashed before me in the moment.
