ABOUT ME

Artist, who's been a marketer - speaker, writer, bon vivant, vegetarian, non-smoker. I`m from the US, but living in Colombia, where I'm the co-founder of a nascent art and culture center in the Andes. I'm also a musician - and if I'm traveling with my handpan, I'm happy to provide an impromptu concert for you and your friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play handpan, an odd percussion instrument - and study classical indian rhythm voice techniques. Thus - a lot of classical Indian music. Classical music - particularly chamber music, jazz, and world.
Books: too countless to list; but those modern classic novelists like Rushdie, Eco, Murakami. Anne Carson blows me away.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So, while I´m a painter/artist/musician, I had a fairly long stint as a marketer. In that capacity, I wrote a book about social media marketing, and traveled all over the world speaking on the topic.

Teach, Learn, Share

All of those things above - particularly in the realm of art. In fact, I`m in the beginning stages of creating an arts center and alternative art school in the Andes here in Colombia. More about that project at www.arteSumapaz.org

What I Can Share with Hosts

Usually if I´m traveling, it's to see art. If you're interested in seeing and talking about art, I'm always happy to share.
