Howdy! Gosh describing yourself is not easy eh? I am a cinematographer that loves to travel. I enjoy people and hearing stories and exchanging ideas. I lived in New Orleans a few years ago and they wont issue a drivers license unless you can cook a decent roux, and my love of cooking began! I play a little guitar but I am better at bass. I love the outdoors, but I will spend a day in the museum for sure. I like a good project and I am pretty mechanically inclined and ready to help when I can. (I have had to resurrect a few new friends cars on the travels!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One early dawn in the countryside near Guilin China i went for a swim in the river. Unknown to me there was a monastery up the hill and we all ended up swimming and talking as the sun came up.
