CURRENT MISSION

Explore the beauty around us and inside ourselves. I want to share what I find.

ABOUT ME
I am the best person to stay with in Austin. I love the outdoors, craft beer, local foodie spots, and will show you the greatest time in this amazing city.

You want night life? Done.

You want quaint, small town park to read in? Walking distance.

You want to see the largest fruit bat population in North America? While we're paddle boarding? Perfect.

Want to try the famous Gordough's Donuts, as seen on the Food Network? I hope you're not counting calories.

Do you need a real Texas BBQ experience? Let's get messy.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live each day positively and positively affecting the world around me, seen and unseen. I believe that positive energy and optimism are contagious. I like sharing my smile and spirit with others.

Música, películas y libros

I love a wide array of literature. I'm currently reading several children's books in French and a few books about soft power and foreign aid.

The last album I bought (yes, I buy my music) was Stromae.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I was in the Army as a broadcast journalist for seven years. I created a documentary in Iraq about the draw down and final year of our occupation.

I've covered major UN and NATO sponsored events throughout Europe.

I worked with the State Department as they established the new US Consulate in southern Iraq.

I am excited to move into my next phase of life, but am so very grateful for the experiences and opportunities the Army gave me.

In December, I spent a month in Ghana near Accra working with a micro-finance organization, and then backpacking and living in a village. I really loved it there and can't wait to go back.

Now studying in Paris is a great addition to the experiences I am collecting.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love to share my passion for cooking with others. I believe in loving what you eat and put into your body. I put love into every meal I create.

I have the technical knowledge of photography, digital filmmaking and post production of photos, graphics, and video. I love meeting people to collaborate with.

I have recently started painting with water colors and acrylics.

I love to share yoga practices and want to learn more about the philosophies of yoga.
