Someone might say that my life story is chaos and instability, but I see it as a foundation for curiosity, learning, and listening – all traits necessary for telling a good story.
 

As a child, I loved connecting with people. My parents recall how, as a toddler, I would befriend strangers with a kiss. Our family loved getting to know new people. Everybody was a different and fascinating somebody.
 

I was born in New Zealand to my Israeli mum and Kiwi dad. Every few years they would pack us up and change continent, home, and faith. We lived in Israel for a while as Jews. In England we grew up as believing Christians until the community my parents helped establish preferred institutionalised order and asked them to conform or leave.
 

They chose the freedom to continue searching.
 

Once again we found ourselves alone and immigrating. We returned to New Zealand.
 

The years spent in Israel proved significant for me. I later returned as a lone soldier and met my future wife, with whom I would raise five children. Here I found my vocation in music, film, and storytelling.
 

My family remains scattered around the globe and, in many ways, we are still wandering.
 

One day I hope to make a documentary film about us.
