CURRENT MISSION

swallowing clouds, burping brilliance. to create and foster community. to eat anything and enjoy most of it. being light, and finding promise in the darkness. to challenge myself and others.

ABOUT ME

i like people, new communities, exciting places, exciting times. try to never postpone joy. want to always be learning.
excited about cultural exchange; i really enjoy that space when you know you like what's going on, and you think you've probably just learned something, but you realize you are still such a little baby.

always wished i was a painter. i mean, we are all painters, but... i'd like to be a painter that really paints.

i'm pretty laid back, easy going guy. world issues concern me. people inspires me. art motivates. freedom and the responsibilities that come with are important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

communication is key. honor, compassion. sharing.
not why, but how.
how? live well.
