CURRENT MISSION

Living every day like it's my last, meeting new people, having a blast, and enjoying my last summer after college and before work begins.

ABOUT ME

I am a very smiley person. People find me enthusiastic to do things, yet easygoing. This seems to be a byproduct of my lifestyle. I love meeting new people, traveling, and having new experiences. I am also an extremely big music fan; you will always see me bumping to some beats or posting a facebook status about the next show I am going to. I would love to go to a live show with you! I just recently graduated from the University of Michigan and will be moving to San Francisco at the end of the summer. Although my degree is in Economics and Psychology, I extremely interested in both politics and philosophy. Talk either to me!

Until I move to San Francisco to begin my job, I am traveling Europe with my girlfriend and roommate, Amy Goldberg. She is way more awesome than me.

PHILOSOPHY

I love having new experiences that broaden my horizons.

A few quotes might help better elucidate my personal philosophy:

“The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.” Amelia E. Barr

“I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.” Rosalia de Castro

“The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.” G. K. Chesterton

“Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.” Will Smith
