Growth and positive change are my focus these days. There comes a time in your life when you realize that you can make a difference in this world of ours.
After 15 years as an Accountant/Financial Analyst, I decided to leave the business world and return to school to study Psychology and Theology. It's NEVER too late to follow your dreams!
I'd like to meet:
Individuals who from their core endeavor to be the most positive version of themselves...unapologetic square pegs, fearless adventurers, philanthropists, kick'em-in-the-shins activists, tireless volunteers, tree huggers on a mission, bleeding hearts with attitude, artists of all sorts who use their mojo to make a difference, fierce trailblazing catalysts for change....and so forth.

Music:
..."the food of love". Nothing moves me as deeply, or governs my mood as profoundly as music does. Cinema is a very close second.
