CURRENT MISSION

Explore and adventure the world. Finding, Creating, Capturing, Sharing Stories in our multicultural existence. Meeting kindred spirits in this lifetime and experiencing the rich cultures of people and their home countries or their residencies.

ABOUT ME

I'm conscious, curious, and creative. Spirituality and collective elevation is important to me. I’m a filmmaker who writes and directs and has worked as an educator, global creative director, and a festival director. Queer, liberal, celibate, and open minded.

I’ve lived with a holistic artist collective of 30 - 50+ members in San Francisco for a bulk of my 20's, then Los Angeles for another 10+ years with spurts of Austin, Houston, New York, Winnipeg, Seoul, and Taipei in between.

Nomadic since 2019. Currently floating between California, Texas, and Taiwan as my home base.

LOVE:
being submersed by different cultures, connecting with kind and adventurous people, love the ocean and beach, the mountains, and campfires and earthy woods are my favorite smells. camping/car camping, road trips, and hikes are a joy! And of course, love trying new foods and experiences!

Currently: Big on books, audiobooks, & podcasts, love movies, enamored with art and human and nature’s ingenuity. Digging deep into science these days and metaphysics. Studying Buddhism. Learning how to ride a moped, facing my fear of heights and horror films, learning how to build and use tools to build a camper with my siblings, love arts & crafts and creating cozy spaces, mental health advocate and love psychology, practicing Krav Maga and geared to earn a belt, slowly learning new languages, and would like to learn to play music and sports again in the future while adopting a more plant based lifestyle to come.

Always learning, creating, and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live life to the fullest, each and every day" This was on a letter from my first love who lost his fight with cancer when we were 18.

"The one thing which we seek with insatiable desire is to forget ourselves, to be surprised out of our propriety, to lose our sempiternal memory, and to do something without knowing how or why; in short, to draw a new circle."

"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences."

🚩Note 🚩: I am not traveling to grab drinks with men😊
