I was born in Carmel California, and was raised spending summers traveling and extended camping in places like the Red Woods of Big Sur. (My grandfather founded the summer camp "Quien Sabe" for the parks and recreation department there.) I have lived in Arizona most of my adult life - and have always held the Grand Canyon and Sedona as Sacred places.

I've been considered one of the "Indigo Children" my whole life - I do think differently than most, and it's not all about the psuedo-science of the new age, but of old truths and proven ways of doing things. Especially the concepts of treat each other as you would be treated - I try to treat all of my fellow men and women with respect...but lets get real, sometimes we make it difficult for others to know our inner selves - especially if you don't know yourself.

I seek friends with a similar outlook - and a 'natural' way of looking at things...not based in snake oil sales, and false hopes and illusions - but in a down to earth approach that we are all here to both teach and learn !!
