Over the years I’ve traveled through 19 countries on five continents, many more than once. I write and speak about travel, resilience and my passions––food, trekking, writing and spirituality––in exotic and hilarious ways. My personal and travel essays have been published in The Los Angeles Times, Christian E-books Today, Smartling.com, Valley Scene Magazine, and The Ventura County Star. I’m an Amazon bestselling author who grew up traveling to the jungles of the Amazon where I waterskied with piranha while learning of head hunters and curses. My novels feature enchanted road trips, galactic travel and astral projection.

I also do background acting work in Hollywood and have appeared on Hand of God, Murder in the First, Pretty Little Liars, Masters of Sex and Love. I am currently shopping my first screenplay, based on the true WWII story of my father's experience as a Japanese POW.
