As Content Coordinator and writer for PeopleJam, I'm excited to be part of a movement that esteems the individual's experience as a valuable commodity to be shared and passed around for the benefit of all.

At my core, I'm an adventurer; an eternal student of life. I'm a seeker of truth and beauty. I believe in wild, crazy parties and in celebrating silence. I believe that people are generally good and that the act of forgiving is the highest virtue there is. I moved around a lot as a kid, probably too much, and so I'm used to starting over, I'm used to "change" as the most organic constant that one may expect from life. I believe that there are no coincidences and that pain is a given, but that suffering is a choice because there's a paper-thin line between perception and reality. I believe in perfection as an ideal to aspire to. I believe in PeopleJam as the ideal conveyor of information, where one human being gets to connect with another human being in order to bring about positive, life-affirming, and thoroughly inspiring change.

My favorite thing to do is to travel like a vagabond because of all the visceral experiences that arise. I find that when the plan is "no plan," life really kicks into gear with tears of joy or with tears of intense frustration. Either way, the experience is both thrilling and priceless when it's filled with odd characters and situations that are authentic and heartfelt. Other extreme interests include: literature, theater and the arts, philanthropy, martial arts, philosophy and metaphysics, jumping off high structures, and cosmopolitan world views.

I'm interested in connecting with actors, writers, painters, and film-makers, people actively seeking social reform, those who speak other languages, financial experts, theologists, people who could use some hope, herbalists, beauty and food experts, Joseph Campbell fans, Paulo Coelho and Khalil Gibrain groupies, Noam Chomsky fans, revolutionaries, boxers, professors, people who like to run and sweat, or dance and sweat, skaters, adrenaline junkies, progressive-music d.j.s, and anyone that has any practical information that would make my life more pleasant.
