ABOUT ME

ypypypypypyp

PHILOSOPHY

I think the principles of improvisational comedy with which I am familiar describe my personal philosophy, such as it is, pretty succinctly. Affirmation, respect and support of others and their ideas, attentive listening and awareness, giving and receiving, openness, trust and honesty all resonate deeply with me, and seem to me like a good model for relationships with people in general.

Interests

Words, songs, 'culture,' people, brains, rollercoasters, falafel, food generally, strength, integrity, compassion, respect, making my 'Yes' greater than my 'No.'

Teach, Learn, Share

Most of my unique knowledge base involves playing musical instruments, mainly the guitar. I'm also a vegan of 15 years, so I know a little bit about that.
