I am a walking contradiction of if, that, then, and this. My beginnings were rural, but with the help of a community of caring adults I transitioned from a bored country juvenile into a troubled city adult. Now I roam metropolis in search of fulfillment and sometimes find it in connections with large-brained mammals and open-hearted souls. Music, photography, videography, and visual artistry keep me humble by reminding me I will never know all the answers and can never fully explain existence.
