  • Description

    I'm a traveling musician, I write songs, play guitar, and aim to record professionally and meet like-hearted artists in community.

    I like to teach art and music, anyone: from kids to elders, all people, and am fluent in Spanish and English.

    I'm 34, healthy and able-bodied, ready to volunteer my energy towards good, wholesome projects.

    I like Native American art- and was raised in the 4 corner area of AZ, NM, UT, CO and have spent a lot of time working on Reservations with indigenous tribes.

    I'm interested in learning more about your art-community space...

    I lived in the United States most of my life, 33 of my 34 years, mostly in Arizona, but moved all over as a volunteer and traveling artist, with WWOOF and Workaway.

    As of last October, I decided to move to Mexico, and learn more about the culture, this is where my grandparents are from, whom I am all but recently meeting.

    I've had the blessed opportunity, to share quality time with my grand-folks , and to learn more about their way of life.

    I am in Ensenada, Baja California now, and wish to start volunteering anywhere in Baja California, as soon as possible.

    I have an open availability, no kids, nor spouse; and all my energy is going towards Music and trying to make a difference in the world through sustainability and volunteering; and an openness and desire to travel and discover.

    I have more than a thousand recorded songs and a lot of story to share!

  • More details about your skills

    My goal is to partake in more art projects, eco-building, organic farming, making music or instructional videos, and whatever else comes along that is art related and meaningful.

    I grew up in a Bluegrass Neighborhood Band in Chandler, Arizona, called  "The JamPak Blues N' Grass Neighborhood Band" (Jampak.org) -teaching and performing bluegrass music. With about 40 kids in the band. It's a very interesting story, all in all, and perhaps I can share more with you sometime.

    Another cool thing, I graduated Valedictorian of my class in 2010, and won Scholarships to the University of my choice. But decided to Travel and volunteer instead, keeping my music career as my first love and passion.

    I've volunteered for regular "Old McDonald" farms, Krishna temples, Art Homes-living with several artists, off-the-grid Container home ranches, and several other unique places.

    I've lived as a van lifer and have had the experience of traveling up the coast pacific highway from all of California to Oregon, as well as from Arizona to Florida, traveling with fellow musicians.

    I'm Christian, and carry the values I was raised with, that's the attitude I bring to my volunteer gigs and that is why I succeed.

    I'm also interested in Yoga, the healing arts, apothecaries, smoothie shops, unique cafe's and the like. Health and wellness.

    I am fluent in English and Spanish. Hablo Espanol con fluidez, como es my primer lengua. Si gusta que le traduzca mi pajina, se la puedo traducir.
