Biography

±á±ð´¥±á¾±²õ´¥Ã‰±ô

While I was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, I’ve lived in Colorado for almost 20 years. I enjoy camping, snowboarding, going to Rockies games, watching college football, playing FIFA, making breakfast, cleaning, and listening to podcasts, but most of all I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog Oden. I consider myself a wannabe philosopher and a student of eastern religions. The teachings of Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba have left an indelible mark on my life and I do my best to carry on a daily mindfulness practice. Be Here Now.ÌýÌý
