It is my nature to love. It is my nature to be creative and artistic. It is my nature to be attuned to the needs of others and to be of service. I have experience volunteering with special needs children with Camphill Special School in Glenmoore, PA. My background is in the culinary arts as a chef; in the healing arts as an intuitive guide and healer in addition to being a licensed massage therapist; as a visual artist I have sold paintings; as an author I have published a cookbook entitled Terra Sapien: An Eco-Cookbook; as a musician I enjoy writing songs, singing and playing music. I come from a healing arts and musical family. My father is a dentist. My mother is a nurse and caretaker and my brother is a musician. I am skilled at the guitar, have begun the journey as a harpist, and can feel Read more my way through the piano. I have training in martial arts and meditation as well. I feel that creativity, especially sound, is perhaps the most effective way to create healing and cultivate peace. I walk the beauty way and find this to be the only way for me. I am undiscouraged by failure, and love myself enough to forge ahead. I am a dreamer, and pay attention to the subtleties of life that move within and around me. I am happy to be a man and claim responsibility to the best man I can be. I am a hard-worker and know the power of persistence and value of pride. The power of love is what moves me, and this is how I live my life. I have an affinity to children because of their innocence, honesty and sensitivity. I feel as if I understand them as I am also in touch with these parts of myself. I can easily enjoy the timeless space of childlike play. It does not bore me but rather it feeds me. At the same time that I can relate to children on their level, if the adult must show up I can easily and effortlessly transition into that role. I know that I shall be a glorious father and grandfather someday. To take that journey, I am preparing my vessel and life so that I am steadily a loving, wise, compassionate, loyal, honest, joyous, faithful, and providing partner and father. So it is and so it shall be.
