CURRENT MISSION

To find out what makes people from all over the world unique and similar to one another.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going and fun-loving guy with a pretty wide range of interests. The people I don't get along with are pretty few and far between, and I take every thing that happens to me in life as a learning experience.

PHILOSOPHY
