About myself

In my early years while in Minnesota, I spent much of my time on stage. I found myself playing myriad roles throughout my time as a high school student; Theater was my avenue for internal expression and the exploration of personal echelons which could only be obtained through performance. At the age of 18, I moved to Germany where I lived for one year. This is where my nomadic lifestyle came into being. Over the next few years I would continue to travel the world. I would find myself backpacking in Peru one month, and in Egypt the next. I would spend much of my travels studying the ancient history of various cultures while expanding my linguistic database through language exchange. On an overcast day whilst seeking shelter in a wooden hut in Ecuador, I decided to submit my application to the University of Rhode Island, where I would spend the next few years studying Anthropology and German. After leaving my University, I found myself moving across the country several times. First Texas, then Connecticut, California, Washington State, and finally, Florida. I had spent the better part of two years running from the past and chasing the hopes of finding a new place to call home. I'd visited over 30 countries and driven through almost every U.S. state. I had delved beyond the Euclidean and Newtonian world whilst partaking in psychedelic ceremonies throughout my travels. I would meet many influential figures along the way, many of whom I would still consider teachers. However, with time I would come to realize the utility in such psychedelic medicines is not escapism; it is to integrate your life with what you learn from stepping beyond the veil of mundane complacency. The psychedelic experience is a reliever of boundaries; it is the liberation of separatism, in that one experiences the self as an illusion and is opened to the oneness of the ethereal cosmos. Soon after arriving at this conclusion, I found myself in Florida. Florida, a place I had least suspected, fulfilled my wishes for a solid support system. Something which I had always done along the way was videography and documentary work. I believe the modality of film is perhaps one of the most relevant and important means of transferring information. The films I produce incorporate a wide variety of topics, yet remain congruent with an underlying theme of anthropological scrutiny and scientific observation. I hope to provide valuable resources and perspectives on our deeply convoluted history, much of which we have forgotten over our 300,000 year tenure on this planet. My inspiration stems from the conviction that, in understanding our past, we may navigate future centuries with precision and optimism toward the betterment of our species. My videos cover a wide variety of topics; usually dealing with anthropological hypotheses and anomalous patterns across the expanse of human history. I also create short films and documentaries about anything which is of interest to me.
