TOLTEC TEACHER, PROGRAMS DIRECTOR
Aaron Landman
I first met don Miguel in 1997 while earning a Master’s degree at the American Film Institute. At the invitation of a fellow artist, I attended a small and private gathering where I had an instant connection with Miguel‘s vibrant and fierce presence. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to develop a close friendship with the Ruiz family, including a beautiful friendship with Jose that goes back to when we innocently stood by a river and laughed like two flowers feeling the light of the sun for the first time. Whether playing music, making art, playing sports, or speaking in public – I’ve learned to embrace the power of self-trust and allow the silent and thoughtless passion to flow through me like an endless meandering river.
