About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Culture OD

ABOUT ME

I'm an LA native acclimating to a new city and weather cycle. San Francisco is a city that's adventurous, delicious, and inspiring. I invite you to share that journey with me! I'm an easy-going, funny, and all-around nice guy. I grew up half Brazilian, half Scottish-Polish, half Christian, half Jew, half confused. My ethnic ambiguity has lead to an interest in a variety of cultures; and has actually led to some funny stories across my life. I'm also quite ridiculous and can say some of the craziest things you will ever hear. I'm openly gay, but not all civil rights about it.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for laughter. I feel it is in everyone's best interest to get lost every once in a while. Find new things in the city. Find new things in yourself. When in doubt, just go North.
