About me

I am a human. A curious and creative person. I love people - connecting with them and connecting them to one another. I’m a problem solver. I’m mostly positive and cheerlead to bring people together to make things happen. I love a quote or a meaningful message. Forever a student of self-help and personal growth. Street art and stickers tend to rock my world. Along with old people and babies. And the coast of the U.K. I’m not your average bear. I want things to be better. And I try to mobilise for change to happen.

What I stand for

The standards by which you live must be your own standards, your own values, your own convictions (Thanks, Eleanor Roosevelt).

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful.

No road is long with good company.

Defining good in my life is up to me.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

If you want to lead the orchestra, you need to turn your back to the crowd.
