I am here for Friends

About Me

Professional Film Editor until 2004 to when I decided to focus my attention on humanitarian services and the global fight against poverty and social injustice. I am learning how to shape my day towards compassion. I hope to someday move back overseas and grow a beard bigger than Kunta Kinte's Grandfather. At the moment you can find me in Portland Oregon where I live in a monastic style community, volunteer with different social services and manage the kitchen at my neighborhood parish. Also, I enjoy making things seem more fun than they are and ladies don't like me because of my man breasts puppet theatre. My place is in the struggle.
