Living and learning from the world through people, music, food, and culture!

I'm a musician (piano, accordion, trumpet), composer, developer, and of course... traveler! I've lived all over the world including in New Orleans, NYC, Berlin, Montreal, Philly, Los Angeles, France (Toulouse, Paris, Saint-Etienne, Antraigues). I'm currently based out of Wellington, New Zealand, where I'm doing a PhD in data science, studying animal vocalizations!

My travels have taken me near and far along roads less traveled, often accompanied by my trusty steed (dog) Quetzal, and usually with an accordion on my back :)

I love folklore, herbalism, traditional crafts, cycling, martial arts, food and cooking, reading, learning, laughing, bicycles, and coffeeeeeee to name a few :)

Currently in Europe, looking for music, work, collaboration, and adventures!
