I was born in the farmland of Philadelphia with a soul mission: to travel so far west I’d return back East in my dying days, fully lived. My path unfolded through Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, where I recieved my BA in Interdiciplinary Studies with a focus in Buddhist Psychology, Humanities, & Traditional Eastern Arts. After graduation, I pedaled a bicycle to Long Beach to reunite with my sister, start a shoe company, and danced between Southern California and Boulder for nearly a decade. I eventually set out to sail the world, but instead washed up on the shores of Maui — and fell deeply in love with plants, permaculture, biodynamics, and the psychotropic paradise of rare tropical fruits. From ages 15 to 38, I lived as a raw foodist, chasing durians across the globe and joyfully losing myself in the pulse of wild nature. Since 2012, I’ve been vibrating between Maui and California, currently rooted at my sister’s roller skate ranch in Paso Robles. Every chapter has been a dream come true, because I believe in infinite potential, divine timing, and the magic of living a life lit by purpose and play.
