About Me

The first step to enjoying the future is to enjoy this moment.

I'm a relaxed, yet focused individual. Always open to listening and chatting about life. Everyone has their story and everyone is interesting if they are honest and open.

I have been performing my comedy juggling and fire shows all over the US for years now. I perform at state fairs and such!

I like to get into low-key adventures. I would rather end up on a roof top drinking cheap wine than in a loud club drinking expensive cocktails. I like to lay on the floor and stretch around finding myself upside down. I will talk about almost anything but I like the human mind and observational topics like, "If you steal eggs from a nest illegally and then crack them into boiling water, are they double poached?"

The mystery of life is not a wound to be covered and remedied but a beautiful void to be acknowledged; to stand in awe at the mystery and plunge into the unknown with a balance of spontaneity and awareness.

Also, coffee in morning. Every morning.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner (You should read if you are a traveler!), Anything by Alan Watts, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed fire on Bourbon street in Louisiana. Went to Amsterdam... Have twice been to Burning Man. I light my pants on fire on a regular basis. I performed in Mumbai, India and London England

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to experience life in different ways, from different perspectives. I can teach you to juggle or help with handstands and stretching. I can cook a little too but I'm a student in this field... Mostly what is important is sharing our stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will almost always offer to buy beer or whatever preferred treat. I'm a good listener. I can show you how to juggle.

Bahamas, India, Netherlands, United Kingdom
