I have yet to kiss a pirate nor climb Mt Killimanjaro. But I have traveled to many far away place and logged more hours on buses, trains and boats than I care to admit. All in searching of that brilliant sublime moment haunting photographs are made of and collect stories that makes me weep in my sleep. Along the way, I occasionally flip over a rock, poke my head into a cave in search of the Holy Grail. I’ve made it my life’s goal to be as fearless as possible in all endeavors and to reach out a little further every time.
I always take the opportunity to ask strangers for exotic pets but I am still short of a baby polar bear. I am driven by ideas, connecting the dots and how everything comes together in all forms of creative enterprise. Storytelling, creative voodoo and visual innovation makes my heart skip a beat and high as a kite. Sharing all of this with the world, reflected through my professional experience makes me smile. I love solving problems, yours and mine and the kid in the corner eating paste, but I am awful at scrabble so please don’t make me play.
I am not a spy, but I am living under an alias and it is possible that I am hiding from my life of crime. I’ll let you decide if they would like me back dead or alive.
I believe in being transparent and will admit to cheating on my Geology exam once upon a time. I believe in exaltation of the individual, connections and collaboration. I have a world domination agenda but I know I can’t do it without some excellent co-conspirators. Lets be friends. Or better yet lets be revolutionaries together, make this a better world, and watch the sunrise from the top.
