‘The intersection of kindness and creativity is where magic lies,
for without the safety of kindness, creativity dies.’
WRITING
From 2013-15 served as a lead writer for VICE Media
Here are a few of the most-read pieces:
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photos in international magazines, outlets and galleries. Vast library of images used to create the opening title sequence for the hit tv series Kingdom (now on Netflix)—even acted in a few episodes of the show.
SCI-FI
Science Fiction author and former co-host of the Infinite Worlds magazine podcast, exploring the universe of Sci-Fi topics, ultimately landing on the all-important question of just what it means to be human.
MUSIC
JIU JITSU
A disciplined martial art perfect for children and adults alike as it features zero striking. A cerebral sport, more chess than brawl. Stressing humility, inner strength and creativity. After a few years, practitioners develop their own style, thus the term ‘art’. Eventually veterans are tasked with transmitting their knowledge to new students.
BU-DO 武道 - (BU) ‘Martial’ (DO) ‘Way’ /// The Way or Path to self actualization through combat training. In 500 CE, Bodhidharma traveled the trade routes from India to China, and in the Shaolin temple he taught the monks combat techniques to meld with their esoteric mental practices, such as meditation and mindfulness. Peace and kindness through inner strength—that is BUDO.
DO-JO 道場 - (DO) ‘Way’ (JO) ‘Place’ /// Sacred place in which students travel the Path.
DO-GI 道着 - (DO) ‘Way’ (GI) ‘Uniform’ /// Sacred uniform students wear in the Dojo.
