CURRENT MISSION

To develop lasting connections with as many beautiful people in the world as I can:)

ABOUT ME

I am making my way through the world trying to transform myself and the planet in the process--while never forgetting to get a laugh along the way and finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. I live for photography and spend a lot of time listening and playing music. I have traveled a lot and I currently live in Kyoto, Japan-one of the most magnificent places on the planet. Though I have my extreme moments I am generally pretty moderate about most things and easy going.

PHILOSOPHY

No matter where you go, there you are. Advice is free, but you pay for experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I let the great Tupac Shakur (R.I.P.) spit a couple of verses during a commemoration for Malcolm X in 1990 when he was just 17 years old. I also met Michael Jackson and took a picture with him when I was 6. And there is so much other stuff, but I will not bore you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach for a living. Ask me a question and I will probably go into my professor bag. Don't ask unless you want an answer or two or three--ha ha ha ha. But in all seriousness I am a talker so be prepared:)
