About Me

I live the Love Paradigm.

I focus on developing community and empowering others to follow their dreams. I run a small performance troupe which is a little like a circus, but mostly I assist other startup performance groups in production and artistic direction. I want to tie this all together in a traveling performance group that talks about and offers workshops in sustainable lifestyles.

Let's build a future we can live in!

• Volunteer Farmer
• November 2009 to January 2010

• Here I worked under the direction of many professors from local colleges and alongside students of environmental science and other interested citizens to work a plot of land in South San Francisco to produce a year round supply of both edible and medicinal plants in an urban environment.

Additional surplus went to programs such as Food not Bombs.

I seated customers by reserved group seating charts, helping socially mix multiple parties, taking custom orders, opening food and drink tickets for servers, and helping run food between dances and bussing each course by certain stage cues.

  I quit this job over deceptive advertisement and meretricious content while touting family friendly environments talking about Love. I found this love to be for nothing but capitalism, alcohol, and ego.
