Joke Time! 📖
It’s time for another one of my famous jokes. I am literally the King of Jokes. I’m the best in the business, and if you’ve seen my other jokes, you know what I mean (the phrases above are mostly fiction and are for entertainment purposes. Although I’m open to King of Jokes). Here we go! Where do farmers and kings come to read books? Any guesses…? Barn-s & Noble! The idea for the joke came while walking in the Seattle center. That’s when I saw a Barnes & Noble. Now, I’ve seen hundreds of Barnes & Noble’s before, but in this particular moment I noticed something. Barnes sounds a lot…

Week 05 Recap
Welcome to the 2020 5th Week Recap! It’s been quite an adventure for me and I hope it’s been for you too. I hung out with friends, saw a movie, wrote lots of incredible posts but most of all… I was invited to be a guest speaker at my school! At the start of 2019, I was a guest speaker for three classes at Edmonds Heights and last week I got the opportunity to speak once again. I wanted to share with the students what I’ve learned over the years as a nomadic filmmaker, writer, actor, and public speaker to show that anyone, even school students can be Young Achievers…

ANIMALS: A New Generation, Book Excerpt 2
This is the second book excerpt from my book ANIMALS: A New Generation. When I was 10 years old I had an idea for a book (I actually had a lot of ideas, but this was one of the first ones I acted on). My book, Animals, is a story about a 16-year-old boy named Aiden who discovers that he’s part of a centuries old lineage called the Animal Elders. The Animal Elders are warriors that can transform into their spirit animal. Joining up with a girl who seems to know a lot, and a mysterious bird, they come together to form the new generation of Animal Elders… just in time to…

THE LEGO MOVIE 2 – Movie Maker Challenge
This is my LEGO MOVIE 2 – Movie Maker Challenge video. Let me tell you a bit of backstory behind it. In 2019, LEGO announced a challenge based on the the new LEGO MOVIE 2. (I love that movie) If you haven’t seen it, see it, it’s AWESOME (If you remember from the first LEGO MOVIE, they had the song Everything is Awesome. The joke in the previous two paragraphs was intended). For the competition you had to create a 1 minute stop motion, or real time LEGO video using the LEGO MOVIE 2 Movie Maker App (Wow that was a mouth full) the goal of the competition is to…

Salzburg Travel Diary
Hitch a ride on a horse and buggy, marvel at the detailed architecture and look across the city from Fortress Hohensalzburg. Welcome to Salzburg! 173 miles northwest from Slovenia is this exquisite city. The first settlers in what is now Salzburg were the Celts. They were soon followed by the Roman Empire and the german state of Bavaria. The 14th century marked the year Salzburg became independent. The word Salzburg actually means Salt Castle. Around the 8th century barges hauling salt on the river Salzech had to pay a toll as customary to travel on the European rivers. Fortress Hohensalzburg looking down on the city has a pretty interesting background.…

Joke Time! 🦙
Today I’m going to tell you another one of my awesome jokes. If you don’t think it’s awesome, then that’s just an opinion. The truth is it’s the best joke in the world. That was a joke. All right, here we go! What does an alpaca say when his family is planning for a road trip? Al – Pac – A Snack! The idea came to me after watching a LEGO youtube series called Rebrickolous. In the videos they do multiple LEGO based challenges from building a structure that can keep an egg from cracking when dropped, to a guess the build challenge. One of the videos is a Shadow…

2020 Week 04 Recap
It’s time for another week recap. What a week! (I know I say that in every recap but it’s true.) I got to build lots of new LEGO sets, took time to relax and visited my old school. While I was there, I learned a good lesson. A lot of my friends I haven’t seen in almost 7 months and during that time I’ve changed so much as a person and so have they. So, I learned it’s okay if the reunions are awkward. It’s ok to be awkward. As my favorite actor Chris Pratt always says “Just be comfortable with who you are.” Leave some of the highlights of…

Nurney Farm Organics Promo Video
While visiting the amazing country of Ireland my family and I were staying with a friend we met at Mindvalley University. That eventually led me to creating this promo video for them. Our friend Deirdre O’Sullivan runs and lives on a local farm called Nurney Farm Organics. They grow all kinds of foods like potatoes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots you name it. And if you can’t, they probably have it too. They also house bees for honey and raise hens for eggs. Deirdre and her husband sell all their own produce including other foods at the markets in Dublin, The town of Trim and at the farm itself. As we stayed…
