About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bring awareness to the world by bringing awareness to myself. (that and eating good food!)

ABOUT ME

Originally from southern California, I tend to be laid back. Why stress? Life's too short. Moved to NYC in 1997 and then to HaNoi at the end of 2009. I relocated to SaiGon in September 2011.I don't consider myself a foodie, but I love to eat. Food is my passion. My motto, "Never waste a meal."I travel not only to eat, but to meet cool and interesting people which I have been fortunate to meet many.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a beautiful journey, I try to enjoy every second no matter where I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really into the rapidly growing music scene in Vietnam. We have some great local talent here everything from hard rock to dubstep. I go see DJ's or bands play all the time. Message me for upcoming events/shows.

Teach, Learn, Share

When faced with a choice, I've found that the hard thing to do is usually the right thing. And action usually beats out inaction.
