ABOUT ME

Builder / destroyer. Experimental musician / artist. Social alchemist. Designer / Animator. I enjoy the written word, making, giving, sharing and taking. My friends would tell you that I am a man of integrity. I do my best to contribute to the world and help out strangers when at all possible. Little things, but potent things, none the less. I work for myself.. I am traveling the planet, searching for the shape of love, true culture, the gems of the earth, ethereal experience, and a broader prospective of the truths of humanity . I spend my static time in Oakland amongst a great community of artists and magical personas.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an optimistic realist doing my best to keep people smiling in all of our neon decadence. I laugh when I can and frown when I have to. I let the wind blow me around and take pleasure in the little things.
