Immigration Lawyer & Explorer / Global Girls / Austin TX

I wander and wonder and help others do the same – literally and figuratively – an immigration lawyer and explorer reveling in the Art of Migration – working with extraordinary aliens and other superheroes – including the Global Girls (who you will meet in Mexico) – to HATCH a better world for all – and savoring every sunrise, sunset and full moon along the way – nature is my happiest place of all.
