About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live as if you'll die tomorrow. Learn as if you'll live forever.

ABOUT ME

I have never intended to lead an ordinary life.
I've climbed Mt. Olympus.
I've studied Shakespeare backstage at The Globe and salsa dancing in Ecuador.
I'm such a huge fan of irony I went to my first ever White Castle in Harlem.
I've done everything from scuba diving in Puget Sound, the Caribbean, and the French Riviera to dodging the Tottemham riots.
Once in a blue moon, I juggle fire.
About the only thing I love more than traveling is meeting new people. Couchsurfing allows me to do both!

PHILOSOPHY

Your soul is in a constant state of collapse. If you do not feed it you end up with a dense black hole as a soul. These are the people that die feeling unfulfilled and typically alone.

The best ways to nourish the soul are travel, doing and exposing yourself to art, further education, and helping others. Or it is simple as doing what you love.

Travel light. Send postcards, and take lots of photos. You don’t really need that shit they’re trying to sell you at the souvenir stand.

The only people who don't make mistakes are the people who don't do anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Motorcycle Diaries.

Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.

There's many, many more but that is the movie, band, and book that has had the greatest impact on my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stood at the most northern point of the United States in Pt. Barrow, Alaska, looked out over the Arctic Ocean and watched the continental ice shelf melt on the horizon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently doing reseach for a play I'm writing about John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Assination. It's titled Good Friday.
And I'd be more than glad to give you a lesson in the art of Devil Sticks.
But if I can't, I'll sing for you if I have to.
