CURRENT MISSION

“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.” - Sir Isaac Newton

ABOUT ME

My life continues to unravel in ways I have never imagined.
I am a musician, high school teacher, scholar, at one time vegan chef, community organizer, rabble rouser, etc.

I spent a portion of my day pondering the limits and deceptions of tangible reality, and how compared to the rest of the material in the Universe, we as humans, and our reality for that matter, don't statistically exist on any significant level.

PHILOSOPHY

"El niño que no juega no es niño, pero el hombre que no juega perdió para siempre al niño que vivía en él y que le hará mucha falta."
-Neruda
