Professional Painter/Carpenter and Aerialist

About

Creative, Talented Artist, Painter, Carpenter, Aerialist, Aspiring Yoga Teacher/Personal Trainer

Ok, I'm stepping way out of the box here... Well, I can't really put myself into any "box" or "category". I love to enhance spaces and create art. I strongly believe water, nature, a positive attitude and good food are our greatest healers. I often bring my workouts and yoga into the outdoors every chance I get. I've been known to do yoga in trees as well as hang my silks/trapeze from trees and bridges. I also enjoy working with plants & food.

I've been a carpenter and professional painter for over 10 years, a gymnast since elementary school and have had a growing passion for health, fitness and the outdoors. I love kayaking, whitewater rafting, skiing and doing Aerial Acrobatics. After many years remodeling/transforming homes, restaurants and healing centers I finally decided to explore other areas. I began Whitewater Raft Guiding and working at ski resorts about 4 years ago.

In April I got back from a road trip to Arizona and spent a month rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. Construction work has been my main resource for keeping up this lifestyle I hold so dearly. I recently finished remodeling a new vegan restaurant in Mukilteo called Sage and Cinder. I worked in the kitchen for a little over a month helping the restaurant get off the ground while enhancing my cooking skills. I couldn't commit to a full time job because I was in the middle of remodeling a cabin near Stevens Pass as well.

I've decided to keep an open mind and see what opportunities develop with the intention of staying in alignment with my passions.
