I am a small town boy at heart, having been born and raised in a village in upstate New York. My youth was not perfect but there were many idyllic moments: hiking in the Adirondacks, visiting my grandparents farms, travelling to many of our National Parks with my parents, playing with the neighbors, and exploring the local woods with my dog.

Nature has been, and always will be, my solace and my guide; I truly believe that the Earth is alive and that our individual and collective health depends on the health and well-being of our air, water, soil, forests, farmlands and cities.

Travel delights me and I love to explore and learn, and I try to keep an open mind (just don’t get me started on Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc.).

I devote my energy and my creative talents to my massage clients and my yoga students.
