about oj 

I was born in Los Angeles. An only child to a wonderful single mother. Then I spent five years in Santa Cruz, mostly cooking and being with the trees. I moved to New York to pursue acting. Fell in love with creating experimental theatre. Blending film, stage and cooking.

I believe in comedy, community, chaos, care, constant creation, cooking, misbehaving, metaphors, and trusting you.
Call me The Gardener cus I plant seeds, really potent seeds that will provide roots and fruit. With your help of course.
