Personal Interests

While I focus my time and effort on my massage career these days, I also maintain interest in my prior careers and actively participate in several communities.

  • World Music and Dance
    I love world music and study and play West African, Brazilian, Afro-Cuban and other percussion-heavy music traditions.
  • Volunteer Work
    I regularly help events and non-profits like Seeds of Compassion, Seattle Empty Bowls, and similar organizations. For the past fifteen years I have volunteered for Seattle arts events like Fremont’s Moisture Festival, Honk Fest West, Bumbershoot, the Fremont Solstice Parade, and the World Rhythm Festival. I served for two years as a board member for the Seattle World Percussion Society, the organization that stages the World Rhythm Festival. When I lived in the Bay Area, I served as a juror for the National Educational Media Network. And when I lived in New York City I did volunteer work in homeless shelters.

In addition to massage topics, I also occasionally blog on this site about other personal interests.
