I grew up in the states and worked in film production for 10 years in Los Angeles. I moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand 6 years ago to work fighting child trafficking and recently co-founded a new organization with some Thai colleagues. I love travel and try to do it as much as possible. I've been to 5 of the of 7 continents and hope to make it to South America one day.
