Practice

Practice

Practice is the daily work of showing up: in body, mind, and spirit. It is how I run, how I play, and how I teach.

Body

Running

I am a slow runner. I train by heart rate rather than pace, using the Maffetone method: building an aerobic base slowly and patiently, and letting fitness emerge over time rather than forcing it.

Spirit

Music

I am a pianist and composer. Jazz is a living lesson in complexity: shared structure, close listening, and something new emerging in the moment.

Body, mind, and spirit are not separate practices. They are one connected system.
