About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To flow with the wind and to connect with other Soular Mirrors that are dedicated to reflecting that divine and mystical light of love

ABOUT ME

I grew up in beautiful Hawaii, love nature, the ocean, animals, a good laugh, I am honest and sincere, humble and a little shy, I love deep conversations about anything out of the "normal", sushi and Thai food are some of my favorite foods, I am always up for good live music and campfire jams, I live a healthy lifestyle, spontaneous, I love a good adventure whether it be hiking, camping,surfing, diving, traveling or doing something out of the ordinary, I am not good with routines it feels to robotic, Music is my first language. Movies are awesome. Oh yes ice cream is amazing but I very rarely eat it one scoop always turns into too much. Most of all I love our infinite Creator and I dedicate my life to being a humble servant for love.

PHILOSOPHY

When we truly follow our hearts we not only set a fire off inside of ourselves but we spark fire in all those around us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jammed with Mike Einziger the guitar player from Incubus. I don't know if that counts as amazing but it was fun : )

When I was in High School during the summers I would get in 10-12 hours a day of practicing guitar. While everyone else was partying I was jamming a way to eddie van halen, steve vai, joe satriani and stevie ray vaughn. I was in my own little world. Than I got a girlfriend and the practice time went down quickly lol.

Teach, Learn, Share

For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories. Plato (Is something that I am learning every single day)

We can all learn from each other. Through experience and meeting new people we learn so much.

I can teach some awesome guitar to anyone interested. I play rock, funk, jazz, blues, acoustic, folk pretty much everything. I went to school for music for a bit and also had some very good teachers along the way. Whether you want to work on chord vocabulary, soloing, or just writing your own songs we can do that. I wont have a guitar with me when traveling but just in case you have one laying around.
