About me

I grew up on the road so it’s no wonder I like to travel and see what is out there in this huge planet that at times also seems very small.

Born in Boston and raised in Los Angeles, Florida and Kansas City, I found myself always with an intrigue towards other culture; moving to the activist controlled city of Portland, Oregon shortly after hitchhiking my way to live in Baltimore. I decided out of sheer curiosity to attend university in Warrensburg, Missouri and then escape to the Southern depths of New Orleans when I turned 21.

I didn’t make it to London until I was 25 or to Madrid and Bilbao until just recently where I hope to return shortly and begin teaching.

I’ve kept myself busy with music for the majority of my life and would like now to see the rest of the world before we, and our clashing cultures divide and destroy it.

I’ve always been an optimist at heart despite my sometimes bleak outlook on people and hope that sooner rather than later we will all realize how silly our pursuits of fame and fortune and domination have become.

I am only looking for experiences in life. As many as I am humanly possible to entertain. In my later years, I may not have financial riches or a pension or a professional title of any stature, but I’ll have stories to tell all those people who sadly wasted their lives chasing money and possessions and that my friends, I’m okay with.
