2008: YEAR OF THE PUNK

About Me

Hey there,I am an actor/ writer living just off the border of Vancouver in Burnaby B.C. I love to perform, inspire, teach, create, and express. My interests are many and I'm always willing to experience new things. I feel very lucky to have what I have in life and tremendously blessed. I am not about changing the world all at once but bit by bit. And about enjoying this journey we call life while providing entertainment and enlightenment for everyone else who are going through it with me. Other than that I just want to have fun, be happy, and make mine and other's dreams come true."We are on a journey for an appointment with whoever we are."I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Acting, Writing, Singing, Directing, Theatre, Film, Television, Dance, Singing, Songwriting, Reading, Poety, Living life to it's absolute fullest.

I'd like to meet:

People who are fun and full of life. People who understand that life can be hard sometimes but nevertheless want to put themselves out there as big and bright as they can. People who are loving, and driven, and understanding. I have no time for shallow, ignorant, vain, or destructive people in my life. If you're playin' dangerous games of the mind and heart, me and my friends ain't interested.
