CURRENT MISSION

To untangle from the confines of my imagination and support others therein.

ABOUT ME

Delving into many activities with fervor has been my norm over the years. When there is an obstacle to progression, I enjoy the pursuit of looking for the solution. The last thing to come to mind is that I am not suited for the activity. Most of my interests listed are not simply "interests" in a light fashion, but things I have actually pursued in an intense manner, and therein lay many stories and perspectives.

I am most expressive and passionate when involved with others in the pursuit of overcoming obstacles to new skills, discussions digging deep into our human condition, and moments of witnessing the magnificence of nature. I tend to get along well with most people.

My humour tends to dry and maybe a little oddball sometimes.

In Occupation it asked, "How do you occupy your time here on this earth?" I thought it more appropriate to answer something that had nothing to do with career, but it seemed to actually intend career, so here is my preferred response:

Pursuing personal potential, sharing and engaging sincerely with others. Living.

PHILOSOPHY

One chance at this life... live an amazing life.
Pursuit of objective truth within.
Balance.
When I was a child I had a lot to share, as an adult I have a lot to learn. Play lots and take an inner-interest in my experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It seems demeaning to choose one of the plethora of amazing things I have seen/done. I will tell in person, but I am sure the imagination combined with my interests can seed some possibility.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share what I have garnered over time, and from my interests you can see the topics I have experience in. I love sharing my discoveries throughout my life on all my interests, and I am fascinated to learn most things. Right now, things that have been on my mind to learn include jazz, electronics, esoteric studies, clothing design, Chinese cooking, and more. Things I would like to take further are parkour, Tai Chi, surfing, Buddhism, meditation, filmography, music composition/performance.
