About Me

My Current Mission is to travel, live light and enjoy everyday!

ABOUT ME: I was born during El Nino in California. The storm shook the coast so hard that it penetrated my mothers belly and I have loved the ocean ever since. I love everything water. The best times in my life are spent around a good meal with good friends and when ever possible on the beach. I love getting outside and enjoying life. I moved from California to Texas then went to Montana to study film then back to Texas and now back to California. I graduated from Texas State with a degree in video production, advertising and horticulture. I just finished working for an environmental science firm in Santa Cruz that specializes in habitat restoration. Now, I'm in the "City" working at 9-5 and stacking until the next adventure. Hit me up!

PHILOSOPHY: Live Everyday

Please note that I can only host on the weekend due to work obligations but may be able to show you around/ hang out during the week nights. Thanks!

Music, Movies, and Books

James Brown- Soul Music, Hip-hop, Reggae keeps my blood pumping. I enjoy making and watch videos. Any films from Wes Anderson are great but my favorite movie is the Big libowski. I try to go to as many live concerts as I can afford seeing music live is a completely different experience.
My sister and I have traveled coast to coast catching our favorite bands here and there.
i love reading Ernest Hemingway + many more...
