●

My list of interests has no end, but to name a few, I am particularly into natural health, the outdoors, photography, good eating, sustainability, books, self optimization, writing, and travel.

●

Life philosophy- simple living, being conscious, always learning, openness to new things, following whatever brings me joy, and soaking up all the tidbits of wisdom I receive from strangers around the world. Currently trying to escape the rat race and spend more time connecting to nature and to myself, while I get some dirt under my fingernails.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- every kind, but I do enjoy a good thriller, captivating documentary, or odd indie film

Books- lots of non-fiction to learn about subjects of interest, fictional adventure stories like Jack Kerouac's "On The Road", or fiction with underlying philosophical meaning that's left for you to decipher

Music- lots of rock, indie, and classics with the occasional mood for Spanish tunes, French bops, old country rock, or a nostalgic playlist of shitty hits from the 2000s

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure what counts as amazing to whomever is reading this, but I guess I'm pretty proud that I managed to escape the mundane trajectory of my old life and begin to consciously and purposefully sculpt one that makes me stoked to be alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always up for learning new skills and exchanging knowledge. Currently interested in learning more about growing my own food, foraging, fermentation, carpentry, yoga, digital media, and anything/everything else that people are willing to share with me.

Home cooked meals, portrait photographs (so you can update your profile picture from 13 years ago), deep conversation.
