About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Helping Burmese refugees living in Thailand and Sharing Good Music at Home

ABOUT ME

In New Orleans I'm a musician, radio DJ, and music writer. My life took an unexpected turn in 2008 when I traveled to Thailand and became aware of the plight of the Lahu, Karen and other refugee peoples living in Thailand after fleeing persecution from the Myanmar government. I started a non-profit called One World Family to bring aid to these displaced people via education and health care.

PHILOSOPHY

Goodness is my God, love is my religion.
