CURRENT MISSION

Letting distractions fall away

ABOUT ME

I transplanted myself from Austin to San Francisco in 2011, then across the Bay to Oakland in 2014, and am making my home in this wonderful Bay Area that is still revealing its treasures to me.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, the best I can tell, life seems to be primarily about loving deeply, living fully, and working towards wellness for all beings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started scuba diving a few years ago! Going into the underwater parts of our globe has definitely expanded my understanding of what life is and how it is organized. People in general are pretty amazing, too. It seems like everytime I really get to know someone, I marvel again at what humanity is. Something akin to "wow! this person is another of the seemingly infinite variety of being!"
I also walked 218 miles of the Camino de Santiago in 2014, from Astorga to Fisterra. Reaching the end of the earth was pretty amazing!
