I grew up in a small town in Louisiana, U.S.A., called Olla. I was born in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and my family moved to Olla soon after I was born. I learned early on that I had dreams of traveling. My favorite times were when I would take trips around the States, playing basketball or with friends and family.
During one of my college years at the University of Louisiana, Monroe, I lived in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, where I studied and played sports. I loved learning about their way of life and the rich culture of the Mayans. After this enriching experience, I began making time for trips out of the States during my studies.
I continued to travel as I gained my master's degrees at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. After my education was completed, I decided to move out West. I spent two decades living in San Francisco while working in the Silicon Valley and International hi-tech startup industry. I was fortunate enough to take time off to travel the world during this time. One time, traveling for over a year with deep journeys in Asia and Africa.
I love following my heart through our world, observing new people, places, and cultures as much as possible.
After some years of living abroad in Reykjavík, Shanghai and Hong Kong, I moved back to the United States. Currently, I am focusing on enriching lives by being of service through business consulting, teaching yoga, and community involvement.
