Bio

Multi-hyphenate student of life. Currently training as a Barber Stylist, performing and ready to explore social media on my terms (buh-bye FB). I am honored to be here for the beta version, and to help create the kind of culture that lifts all.

I sing, I act, I play, I write. I nerd hard. U.S. Marine Corps veteran and engaged citizen.

Systems thinker with professional experience in Emergency Management/Response & Recovery, Accessibility and Functional Needs, Analysis & Reporting, Teaching/Mentoring, Urban Development, Nonprofit Management/Arts Management, Personal Training/Fitness, Analysis & Reporting.

Amateur visual artist, historian, writer, gourmand gardener, and inventor.

NB: Recovering OCD acolyte and occasionally awkward, I am often described as aloof or cold. Rest assured I am only somewhat Aspergers (29/50) and only mean to state my perception of the situation in as few words as possible, because time economy and misinterpretation. But, I also ramble because I sometimes feel the need to explain myself several times to be understood and I feel like every detail is important to the telling. Please know that I never intend to be rude or disrespectful. That being said, I insist on truth because it is the only way I know to navigate the world, and I will point out the inconsistencies I see. That also makes me bad at playing games or reading intentions. I am working on self-honesty as I build self-worth.
