About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Satisfy my addiction to 'Aha' moments!

ABOUT ME

I was raised by Buddhist Hippies in the heart of San Francisco.. does it get any better that that!? :)

Most describe me as a 12 yr old experiencing Christmas for the first time. I'm now harnessing that horsepower into a Kerouacian adventure around the world. I hope to live up to the title of international citizen.

I'm a fan of deep conversations and unbridled idealism. ..and, lastly, I snort when I laugh..

PHILOSOPHY

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped orchestrate a parade for world peace in the heart of Hollywood, California led by Gandhi's surviving grandson. That day, thousands of people were able to believe, at least for an eye-blink of a moment, that peace is possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned that once you relinquish that heavy fear of wheeling off your "career" trajectory and follow your adventurous hearts..the sky's the limit!
