I like to inspire creativity. Challenge perspectives. Be challenged. Leave things better than before.

I love to meet weirdos. I love abstract ideas and people who can hold conversations.

I love to cook, especially for other people. I also love to write. I love the Earth. I love to be outside. I love art. I love music.

Let's go adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love writing and reading, and am proficient in the English language. I am a published writer and poet featured in the 2014 Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival in Carbondale Colorado. I love to share beat poetry and conversation. I am also a chef and love to share good food with good people.
