CURRENT MISSION

The present moment is one's only point of power. I am an artist and and arts advocate.

ABOUT ME

I love to learn, and this brings me consistent happiness. Currently my life revolves around a constant state of creativity, curiosity, activity, and laughter. I love to dance (as long as there is room to move and good music) Dance and aerial arts has been the perfect balance of art and physical fitness for me. But I love them individually as well I love BW film photographyI love food and cooking. I like to eat well and healthy. I love variety. I love plants and animals, as I am a nature boy and grew up in the country side of Northern California amongst redwood forests, rolling golden headlands, old school hippies, and an expansive Pacific Ocean. I am a romantic queer man, theatrical, extremely optimistic and loving it!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a passionate person, and have very strong political / philosophical perspectives that are radical progressiveness... but I am not looking to pick arguments with people, rather I thrive on constructive discussion, with a nice healthy tablespoon of humor.
