Born and raised in the U.S. in Arizona, I now reside in the country of Malawi in a small village called Manchewe. The village has only the very basic necessities needed to sustain a basic life but the people of Manchewe show immense potential for development and positive growth. Currently in the beginning stages of forming a foundation which helps to reduce the dependency on external resources through the use of social enterprise, education, and a self sustaining community framework. Striving to become as hands off as possible and aid the village in growing to it's full potential on its own terms.
