What Bold Earth means to me?: Leading for Bold Earth is my DREAM JOB. It's an amazing opportunity to explore the world with new friends and cultivate positivity, confidence, independence, friendship, trust, new perspectives, exuberance and PASSION!

Favorite Quote: We are the authors of ourselves, co-authoring a gigantic Dostoevsky novel, starring clowns... The world is an exam to see if we can rise into direct experience. Our eyesight is here as a test to see if we can see beyond it. Matter is here as a test for our curiosity. Doubt is here as an exam for our vitality. - Speed Levitch
What I do when I'm not at Bold Earth: I enjoy running, biking, skiing when possible, body surfing when possible, dancing a storm, listening or playing music, drawing, studying metaphysics, and celebrating life!
