One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 - I traveled through Europe and visited 8 countries in 6 weeks.

I climbed in tree above a Norwegian Fjord / I sat on Ingmar Bergman's back porch / I explored an abandoned amusement park in Berlin / I got lost in Venice / I ate 6 bowls of gelato in a matter of hours / I almost froze to death in the French Alps / I edited a documentary in Amsterdam / I ate french fries in Brugge / and I waved goodbye in London.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that I am a teacher at heart.
I would love to teach and share with you anything I know.
This includes anything on film / photography / music or theology.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you my knowledge, my home, and my life.
