About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Meet new people, travel every where possible, and do my best to: live in harmony with nature, be happy, uplift everyone around me, and be a steward to the earth and humanity.
I love to help people, so please if you host me, feel free to ask me for help with anything. I'm happy to do chores and any handyman work. I have 14 years of construction experience.

ABOUT:
Studied Cinematography and Producing at Colorado Film School.
Music and visual art/ media light my fire!
I enjoy music/ concerts I get hired to photograph/ film concerts throughout the area.
Over the winter I'm snowboarding, snowshoeing, skiing, hiking, skating.

During the summer I'm hiking, backpacking, skydiving, camping, riding motorcycles, fishing and all other outdoor activities.

Im a very relaxed guy, get along with everyone, 420 friendly (although I don't smoke).
I feel like one of my greatest qualities is, that I can relate to practically everyone that I meet. I'll enjoy hearing your stories so plz do tell.
I'm a very personable and understand individual.

I have been all over the world. In the summer of 2008 I moved from Switzerland, where i was living for quite a few years, to Colorado. I mainly grew up in Western Africa and Western Europe. I absolutely love and appreciate everything Colorado has to offer. The outdoors, Mother Nature, and the Mountains mean so so much to me.
FYI, I absolutely love dogs and any other pets. My dogs are my children😄. I couldn't live without animals!
I'm a cinematographer and a carpenter by trade and can pretty much build/fix anything I put my mind to; not to mention I enjoy it. So how bout' let's trade my labor for a couch?
😄😄
