ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the Foothills of Colorado, I love to be outside, write, play music, go to shows and learn new things. I hope that everyday contains something perfectly unique for me to appreciate.
I'm very open and welcome oddities in culture, personality, etc.

As of recently, I'm living in Germany--writing a video game and learning German!
