CURRENT MISSION

To plumb the depths and soar to the heights of my humanity... and be present for other people doing the same

ABOUT ME

I am an optimist. I love to meet people and connect in a meaningful way - my ideal night out is talking and laughing over drinks while listening to fabulous live music. I love to be active, explore new places and learn new things. I believe I have something to learn from everyone I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

live, love, laugh
