About me:

I am not really one for labels, but for the sake of describing myself, I will make an exception. If I had to sum myself up in just one word, I would have to say I am an artist. I discovered a love for art at a very young age and through the years I have developed into a graphic artist. I have come a long way in my understanding and appreciation of all forms of art, and almost simultaneously, I have felt the same effects happening to my views on life. I guess you could say that art was the first door I went through in my quest to find my truest self. These days I have found myself studying quite a bit, without any specific direction or goal other than to understand. At times it seems like this is a very crazy world we live in, but from a broader perspective it is really quite amazing.

My passion for understanding has taken me into numerous fields of study. Everything from science, history, nature, astronomy, literature, music, culture, people, along with anything and everything that may help to gain perspective. I have studied many different ideas and beliefs including most major religions. I have come to realize many different cultures believe in the same or similar ideas, we just all have our own unique voices in which to say it in, and we are fast approaching the day when we will all realize just how similar our voices really are. I have decided not to choose just one belief system, because I choose them all, just the same, I choose no one particular way of life because I prefer to leave myself open to all ways. I try to always see the good in a situation and hold onto only positive thoughts. I have come to understand the effects that our thoughts and feeling have on our reality, and I realize that we all must get into the driver seat and take control of this ongoing creation process known as life. It's time we re-evaluate our old ideas, allow them to evolve, as ideas do. Our planet is not the center of the universe, and we were not put here to be "in charge" of everything. The universe is abundant and the possibilities are endless, but one of our biggest challenges is figuring out what we truly want. We are but a young civilization attending this school we like to call Earth, and we have plenty left ahead of us. Our challenges are our tools which we use to bring us experience and understanding and should be appreciated for what they are. After all, the shadow will always be there to contrast the light.

I guess I have always had a spiritual way of looking at things, which has been passed down from my Native American heritage. I am very close with most of my family, and I have always been the type to consider my friends as family. I have been known to give the shirt off of my back, even if it’s only to see a person smile. I have always been the romantic type, though lately I have not found much success in that department. It seems I have yet to meet a woman who truly understands me, though the little voice on my shoulder keeps reminding me to be patient. As life goes on, I realize that more and more people are becoming open to new ideas and thinking outside of the box. People are now learning to breakthrough their pre-conditioned prejudices and beliefs, in order to truly connect. Because of this, we now have the internet as a tool to reach out all over the globe and make a friend from anywhere. The evolution of transportation has now exceeded the need to actually travel, and it is being used on this level twenty four hours a day without end. There is a large probability that several people from all over the globe and possibly beyond are reading this page right now, and effortlessly my words are reaching them.

All things considered, I would say I am truly blessed. I have an amazing family, I know many good people and I have had many great experiences, and to me these are the things in life that are the most valuable. I thank you for taking the time to get to know me better, please enjoy the rest of my page and feel free to comment or message me.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone with an open mind, people with similar interests, Artist and Graphic Designers, anyone interested in hiring a freelance Graphic Artist, Musicians, love running into old friends on here, people who lead by example and stand up for what they believe in, anyone who isn't afraid of change and strives to be better than the day before. I hold no prejudice nor do I make judgments on people based on what they look like or where they come from. I will only make an assessment based on what you say, think and do. I believe that every human being comes from the same source and all should be treated equally without exception.
