Small town southern boy turned global traveler. As a boy, I dreamed of traveling to foreign destinations to learn from new cultural beliefs and my findings are unable to be explained in words. Most of the constructs Ive learned from living in the south have dissolved but the most positive part of the south will always be with me-- southern hospitality and charm. Just by being a friendly human and treating people nicely, Ive been able to learn that most cultures, traditions, religions and I found that they're all pointing to one thing.

Im outgoing and love to laugh. I can be a bit of a jokester but also a good listener when people want to be heard. So in short, Im an open book that wants to meet new people and watch what unfolds in front of me.

I own a digital marketing company called Automated Prospect that has 6 global travelers for team members. We travel the world and also help other companies grow.

I've also studied Zen meditation for the past 5 years and have been helping people simplify their definition of meditation as our society has only made it complicated so it confuses people and then they pay money to learn it. this is most definitely a passion of mine along with going to the Amazon Jungle every year to learn from the indigenous people that inhabit it.

Enough about me, I want to learn about you. Thats why Im here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 14 days in the jungle with a tribe called the Secoya in Ecuador and learned about their medicines and traditions. Thats just the surface. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. Meditation means, sit just to sit.

Learn: I would love to learn another language

Share: Ive worked with many teachers and have learned a little bit about a lot. Everything Ive learned, I will share with you. Im also a good cook!
