CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what's out there in this world and enjoy the ride.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous relaxed person trying to figure out my way in the world and have fun while doing it.

I've taught immigrant rights with the Zapatistas in Mexico, I've worked in an inner city high school in California, I spent four years of sleepless nights in at Berkeley studying why and how poverty exists internationally, and now I work in sales in Santa Barbara.

PHILOSOPHY

"We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak" - Epictetus
