ABOUT
Hi! Thanks for clicking on my link. I feel very honored that you are here.
My name is Sebastian, some people call me Sebas. I am a Chilean born and raised, and as a teenager, I moved to the States. Sharing my time between Colorado and the North East. I love climbing mountains (literally and metaphorically), working on projects that are bigger than myself, and being at the service of people looking to be better every day. In my free time, you may find me Skiing in deep powder, listening to old rock and roll records, or watching Werner Herzog's films.
Below you will see some of my work experience's best hits, please have a nice cup of wine or water, sit back, and enjoy.
Have a blessed day.
Sebas.
