This project was born because of soccer and thus deserves some recognition. After a year of living in Sub-Saharan Africa fighting HIV and AIDS, I came back to the states with a greater appreciation of the game. I understood more deeply the soccer 'way of life' and truly believe in its power to heal through hope, mobilization and dedication. I documented my travels through stories and photos, and to honor those experiences, I've left most of them on this website. Though that chapter has since closed, I've been inspired to continue documenting my 'story' back home in San Francisco through descriptive pieces of personal inspiration that I hope will revive a life of adventure, from the inside out. Please follow my blog and share.
