Aloha! I'm a shaman who loves adventure. I live, play and work passionately for all things in my life. I relish the moments before dawn and just during twilight the veil between realities is so thin and momentarily everything interacts, magic is created and miracles happen simply by being.
The intensity of my focus can be very high at times. I feel that's where you best encounter the magic this world has to offer. I think that if each of us takes the time we will find real honest magic all around us.
I perceive the glass as being full, accordingly I tend to misunderstand others when they dwell in a state of negativity, while realizing that we all get down at times and say or do things in haste that in no way represents who we really are, our honest feelings and thoughts, that's regrettable but all to often true.
I am a compassionate and devoted friend and father. I believe in family and that the gifts Ohana has to offer are unequalled anywhere else in life. I give of myself to a fault at times, but that's what makes me human ;) Maybe most importantly I believe in the concept of ALOHA and strive to live it every day.
Music... What else can I say I can't live without it. The festival vibe you get from live shows, especially those that are outdoors is utterly amazing. What types do I like, pretty much anything from, World, Alternative, Rock, New Age, Blues, to Jazz, and Classical. What I don't like is the commercialization that's fed to us on radio today. I support the small labels and the artists just trying to make a living, there's a lot of passion and magic out there that just doesn't make the airwaves...
Let's see, you want to know some artists don't you? Well there's, Michael Franti he's currently my favorite; Ben Harper, Rusted Root, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Hendrix, Tom Petty, Santanna, Rage, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Alanis, I could go on and on.... These are just a few mind you.
On another more personal note, I love to volunteer I am an activist and environmentalist searching for my niche, my passion. I don't believe war is ever the answer; peace and love are paramount and therein lies providence. Visit my website and check out my links page and you'll see some of the places I believe in. I support some actively, and some well, not so actively...
I love helping the little ones, our children are the salvation of the planet and we all owe them everything we can do to promote a healthy, vibrant, stable and peaceful world. To that end I love asking why not instead of accepting conventional methodology. Simply by asking I find that I learn so very much, I firmly believe that's the way you get to what's real the honest truth of the matter. Then that's me ;)...
What do I do for fun? I love to run, climb, bike (mountain and road), snorkel, dive, surf, read, learn new things and live for adventure big and small. Well I've babbled on and on for way too long, if you want to know more, or simply have questions or suggestions please drop me a line I'd love to hear from all of you!
Aloha & Mitakuye Oyasin
