looking forward to Gaia Pro

I'm more of a verb than I am a noun. A constantly fluctuating pattern who's making the transition from a state of unconscious reaction to a state of conscious action. I am the universe becoming aware of itself.  Apparently I'm not alone!

Here's some of the stuff I can actually put into words. The rest is an experience. I strive to be open, aware and in a continuous state of growth but… sometimes find myself closed when I least expect it. I'm never bored. I think that compassion, imagination, an open mind & heart, and living now are keys to much of life. When I resist (or try to control) life, I suffer. When I accept (or trust) it, I thrive and ultimately become one with it.

I'm at home in the outdoors. Climbing, mountain biking, mountaineering, slacklining, back-country skiing, swimming, getting lost, or just sitting back and enjoying the view are a few of my favorite activities. They bring focus and clarity, to a place outside of mind. No me, no mine, just pure experience with no boundaries!

I'm committed to reducing my impact on the environment. I find that the small things do add up. I eat organic and vegan food, which helps my fellow earthlings, the planet, and this body. Hanging out with friends talking, pondering, LAUGHING, and having fun are always high on my list of priorities. As is meeting new people and hearing about their journeys.

Meditation, contemplation, lucid dreaming (and living), and the exploration of truth are part of my daily routine. 
I strive to live a life that matters, to explore the potential
of humanity, and to dance with the unknown.
Life is an amazing trip and watching this “show”
keeps things entertaining.

I “work” for Gaia. I'm the Director of Biz Dev & Operations.
I admit it… it's hard to call this work because I'm
extremely passionate about what we're creating here.
 I'm responsible for project planning, operations, and business development. I also focus on the the products we use, the businesses that we support, how we manage “waste”, etc. Click here for more. The long and short of it is that I get to work with amazing people who are making a difference in the world!

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”
-Martin Luther King, Jr

“The hostile attitude of conquering nature ignores the basic interdependence of all things and events—that the world beyond the skin is actually an extension of our own bodies—and will end in destroying the very environment from which we emerge and upon which our whole life depends.”
- Alan Watts
