CURRENT MISSION

To pray and play. Pay attention to those present in ,my life, enjoy the journey and the rainbow, sail and play music. There is no mystery in joy!

ABOUT ME

A rugged, sensitive and playful individual with a desire for community. I love my life and my family and my friends. I listen to and play music, jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, world music, church choir. I love to cook and entertain. I love New Orleans jazz fest. Sailing, hiking, running, traveling. I love Heineken. Am a Leo. And, "There is no mystery in joy".

PHILOSOPHY

Anything that brings me joy is what I am going to do at any given moment. I am spontaneous, will not miss a family event, and will go great lengths to help someone. I would rather work for free than for money. This place I am right now and the person I am with at this moment is what is important. Practice love, you can not do it wrong.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the miracle of the sun. I built the house I live in, a unique adobe on 7 acres in the country 20 minutes from Santa Fe. Delivered three babies, one son and two daughters. Watched a giraffe being birthed. Recently moved a mountain. Witnessed past lives of mine, had no idea they existed until then.
