About me:

I orbit alcohol & tea and stay clear of the rest of the bullshit. Research is my passion, therefore absorbing books, film & music occupies much of my time. Two places have had a significant impact on me personally. 1. Cape Town. 2. Texas. I believe in honesty and courtesy and fearlessness. I've never seen a matador pierce a bull but I have certainly read The Sun Also Rises. If you are a musician there is possibility for collaboration. I love ordinary things that work, like a boat, or photoshop. La Republica Dominicana. La gente, mi corazon, wildlife and rhythm.
