Whether or not it proves career worthy for me, music is a passion that I will never abandon.  It is its own language, a purely nonverbal art form that can also be coupled beautifully with the verbal art of human speech.

Words hold a similar place in my heart; the musicality of poetry, the profoundness of good fiction, even the construction of sentences for persuasion all provoke interpretive imaginative states in me.

I have been surfing since age twelve, and it is a significant element of my life.  Waveriding is an art to me as well, where athleticism and balance are used to coexist with the constant flux of nature, to feel the thrill of being part of earth's energy.
