CURRENT MISSION

One Love

ABOUT ME

Simply, my nick name around the office is smiley, it is truly hard to find a time when I'm not fashioning a grin. "I breath in, I calm my body. I breath out, I smile."-TNH I try my best to be open and loving to whom ever I come in contact with and I treat every day as another chance to improve myself in all aspects. I would describe myself my spiritual beliefs as organic Christian Buddhism but in reality I believe in a One Love mentality.

PHILOSOPHY

Sit quietly and laugh loudly

Interests

I am currently a student at the University of Toledo studying electrical engineering and business entrepreneurship. In my free time I study ecology (specifically edible forest gardening/organic agriculture). I also love backpacking, reading, rock climbing, basketball, meditation/yoga, collecting vinyls, and have started working on learning to forage/plant identification. I also have a passion for expressional arts like poetry, playing drums, piano, guitar, and messing around with pastels(must admit not all that much of an artist but am working on it). I also have a deep longing to hone culinary skills and have a 10 year goal of owning a restaurant near the beach somewhere in North Carolina with my two italiano brothas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. While backpacking on the Appalachian Trail in the Shenandoah Valley area with 8 of some of my best buddies, we stopped for a rest at a lookout point. I was absolutely beautiful!! Looking out from the chiseled rock peak watching bald eagles swooping above the blue rushing waters of the Shenandoah River, body absolutely exhausted and feet bleeding. Being in that moment truly created an undying appreciation for nature that has and will encourage me to conscientiously live for mother earth.

2. Every time I get to spend time up in the beautiful landscape of northern Michigan and especially on Bear Lake. Looking up into a clear night sky with billions of stars twinkling down on you. A truly magical and "awestruck" experience.
