About Me

I've been in the San Francisco, Oakland, Bay Area, for most of my life and no matter where i go in the world, I always get the excitement whenever I return back home. THe Bay Area.Some of the activities I enjoy are traveling to others countries. I've been to the several countries within the Caribbean, Central and South America and within the next few years I plan on visiting Cuba, Africa and Mecca. However this year I will travel to Europe. I want to understand what James Baldwin, Nina Simone, Gordon Parks and so on loved about it.Many of my hobbies are solo dependent such as jogging, Brazilian Jujitsu, Boxing, Kick Boxing and my most favorite Capoeira. Playing chess with whoever, learning, and teaching. Bob Marley once stated "Home is in my head", however I do enjoy spending time with family and friends, learning and experiencing this evolution of life.
