About Me

I fancy myself a writer and a poet. I'm a Bikram Yoga teacher/practitioner in Naperville and Chicago, hooray for second chances. Maybe you should come take a class. I am also involved with Cafe Ballistico, NFP, an expansive network of artists and musicians based in Chicago. Ballisticrats build art from abundant societal wreckage; we seek out and promote quality art of all forms, join us!
