CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much as I can during my lifetime and spread positive energy wherever I go.

ABOUT ME

I write, make jewelry/metalsmithing, love to travel internationally, and like a variety of music from rock to jazz to classical (with a few exceptions).

PHILOSOPHY

If there are people in this world who can find the strength to put one foot in front of the other each day after experiencing genocide, war, rape, torture, enslavement, starvation, and any other violation or deprivation of their basic human rights, then I can rise above the challenges I face.

Interests

Amazing photographs, malaria research, cancer research, MSF/Doctors Without Borders.
