About Me

I want to tell stories. Since I was little I've always gotten lost in books and films and I've realized that I want to create and share what's in my head, hoping it can mean as much to someone as my favorite stories did to me growing up. Right now I'm doing that through filmmaking and am currently in post production on a documentary I spent the Fall of 2016 filming in Panama City.

I'm fascinated by history, anthropology, astronomy, theology, philosophy, biology, and essentially anything about how our planet works.

Interested in learning Yoga, speaking Spanish, attempting to surf, meeting new people, and sharing perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been blessed to have many adventures thus far throughout my life. I've gazed at the stars in the Sahara, swam with pink dolphins in the Amazon, ran with the bulls in Spain, and many more. These experience sparked in me a keen desire to adventure, explore, and generally push myself into the unknown and the uncomfortable.

The most incredible experience I've ever had was being a counselor at a camp for families that have young children with cancer. Called Agape, the greek word for unconditional love, the camp is a week long vacation for families that are battling cancer. Each day is themed and has a new activity for the kids while the parents get time to relax. It's hard to express in words how special this place and these people are. It truly is a beautiful example of unconditional love (Agape) in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perspective. I love learning how others see the world and sharing my viewpoint in return. I think this is the best way to learn about ourselves and experience, if only a small part, the beauty of our diverse, beautiful world.
