CURRENT MISSION

Be good for yourself in a way that benefits others

ABOUT ME

I like to travel the world trying to save the ocean. An uphill battle thus far but in my non ocean hours I love to cook and am up for almost any concert.

In Germany the Flintstones are called die Familie Feuerstein. Germans find this hilarious.

I am teaching myself to play the guitar. Im not bad. Im also not good. I might be bad.

PHILOSOPHY

just keep moving.

also, umbrellas are items without ownership.
