CURRENT MISSION

To explore and entertain. Embrace good design, and be artistic in all realms of life.

ABOUT ME

I am interested in growth and change. I love to be at home just as much as I love exploring.

I'm an old soul in new shoes.
I am calmed by bodies of water.
I am French-American.
I consider myself to be part of an incredible, large family - mostly not related by DNA.
I am a dreamer.
