my life started the 24th of May. as a gemini, i am constantly doing new and interesting things to impact the world. in the spirt of the original scouting oath, i will always do my best, to fulfill my duties and help others at all times.

i am blessed to have had the opportunities to explore life's constantly intersecting foot paths, and highways. through my 'round the world journeys, i've experienced our similarities and have seen our intertwined dependance. while i can not predict the future, i know change is constant.

once there was a time when you could put a label under my name - geek, organizer, blogger, lovver, mechanic, bossman, artist, camera man, tourist, consultant, citizen journalist, government employee, etc...

now, i call my self a "international blender repairman" churning up stories with community organizing.

as my current focus is on helping people see a vision, express their voice, and make their own future, you can find my handy work at...
