About Me

I am an adventurous spirit. Grew up in a small boring town in central florida and wanted to see the world . Ive lived in florida where i attended schoool. after that i lived in a tree house hostel for 8 months in Brunswick, GA. called the hostel in the forest.
Living there was the best experience of my life . Here I had the opportunity to take care of a 3 acre garden. It was an environmental education center and spiritual retreat. This place sparked my interest in sustainable communities and work trade. After that i knew i had to continue doing things that were magical so i moved to yosemite national park where i worked for 8 years. I am currently a photographer living in the San Francisco area!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to have a horse when i was a kid . I will always remember the feeling of letting him run as fast as he could go. the sound of his feet hitting the sand was beautiful. my horse was crazy so i never knew what he would try to do it was really dangerous and exciting . I liked the wind of going fast, and the connectedness with the horse. We had a good flow

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I could show you something about photography . we could practice a game of pingpong together . or play a game of rummy. I could show someone how to spin pottery on a pottery wheel, maybe teach them about painting or drawing
