I am a social-purposed entrepreneur from the PNW that creates experiences to connect through the power of personal stories.

I love my work but honestly, a character arc of mine is to not tie so much of my self-worth into what I do…

HELLO HOWDY YO こんにちは BONJOUR SUP AHOY HEYYO HOLA HI

Everyday I like to create. I like big ideas and the small tasks to pursue them.

And along the way, I discover some core longings, fears, values and beliefs that make me…

me.

It's about character.
