I grew up in San Francisco. Went away for college, back to the West for a while, then Hawaii. Rode a bike from London to Rome. Later back west, then east to Manhattan which I loved. Back west, then to Rome which I loved. In between short trips to Thailand to do a documentary about elephants who play music. Then to Burma where I came very close to moving to live and teach,  Bhutan, Turkey, Iraq. I lived in Los Angeles which I came to love. Visited Paris, London, Casablanca and other parts of Morocco, the southern part, very medieval. I worked throughout this ping pong adventurous life. I’m now in Mexico.
