  • “Follow your passion and explore new avenues that you may not consider as part of your passion. I’ve found the more things I’ve tried, the more people I’ve met, the more classes I’ve taken- years down the road it unfolds in a miraculous fashion… I can look back at everything I’ve done and see a matrix of action and knowledge coming together to allow that one point in time to manifest.”
