CURRENT MISSION

Connect with artisans, visionaries, and innovators to form a production studio beyond borders.

ABOUT ME

Born into a thriving, creatively driven, spiritual community in the rural Midwest. I was bred on TM (Transcendental Meditation,) Yoga, Ayur Veda, Holistic Health, and the Science of Creative Intelligence. I developed an affinity for storytelling, which I cultivated through the visual arts.

After discovering animation, I realized the potential to promote awareness of imperative issues we face as human beings. Through thought-provoking, illuminating content, covering crucial issues we face as a species, my objective is to move the hearts and minds of individuals toward self-sufficiency, enhancing their own lives from within and without.

PHILOSOPHY

Getting out of my own way. Walking the razors edge. Not following one's fight or flight response, but in recognizing the I Am presence. That we create everything in our lives, and with intention and attention, we can construct our own reality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am in search of creative communities, artist residency programs, and in-house innovative infrastructures and resourceful residencies for imaginative people to collaborate on projects geared towards raising social & ecological awareness. I want to create more opportunities for people to come to Fairfield, IA, where I am from.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've stayed in the Northern Colorado region with a few different Couch Surfer hosts who were incredibly welcoming and chill.
