CURRENT MISSION

Move or be moved.

ABOUT ME

I grew up near Fullerton, California, and expatriated from that land to Portland, Oregon, as soon as I finished college. I love to write and read and play music and make photographs and connect with people. Connection is key.

PHILOSOPHY

Just open up your heart.

Without contraries is no progression.
