Three simple passions of mine/my ikigai:

“Think of each day as a single life.”Seneca

My life has taken many different turns over the last decade. I know those experiences (challenging or joyful) were necessary in my return to Truth.

I’m great at a lot of things, but I’ve learned that at my core, I’m here to create through photography and writing, so I can help other people, businesses, and organizations in whatever capacity I can. Any valuable skills I pick up along the way serve to help me do those two tasks above on larger scale.

When I do that, life is easy. When I don’t, life is harder.

Never swim against the current of life. It’s that simple.
