CURRENT MISSION

Don't hide the madness

ABOUT ME

I believe what defines us lies in quiet moments, both instantaneous and infinite, that inside the mind sparks a silent revolution. At this particular moment, I am working at a Bed and Breakfast in the South of France playing piano for guests and making promotional films. Beginning on November 7th I set out on a project in which I would travel and along the way play music and make films to develop myself as both an artist and a person. I plan to be in Europe for the next two years living as a nomad until I can find a place to hang my hat.

Some quotes:

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ~Henry David Thoreau

"I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life"
-Leo Tolstoy

"The very essence of romance is uncertainty." -Oscar Wilde

PHILOSOPHY

Long hair don't care.
