CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Lived in San Francisco for five years. Once bought a one-way ticket to Cambodia and served as the teacher in a small village and headed up a mobile education tuk tuk to reach areas without access to English education. Organized a co-creative community space in Paris called Freespace, that started in San Francisco. Now I'm working on DJing for a mobile streaming network and I am based in Los Angeles, CA.

PHILOSOPHY

Let go. Trust. Pay attention to coincidence. Love. Live in the moment and see where it takes you...
