Born in Peoria Illinois, moved to Aberdeen SD at age 3 - June 6 1970. Grew up in a family of 10 loving art, music, theater, dance and being strange (Andy Kaufman is a hero). My youth was filled with spiritual experiences that grew over the years and has matured into building community and living and promoting connectedness. My experiences led me to own a coffee house (going on 20 years) with my sister, start and run a non-profit and make film and graphic design. All my work has the goal to make a better world by celebrating life together with no one left out.
