Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Pet every single puppy in the world. Believe it or not- I'm 35% done.
ABOUT ME
I'm a Coastie, it's alright.
I joined to get a chance to explore the world and make a difference while deciding what I want to do with college.
I love music. I used to play a little bit of mandolin, guitar, and harmonica, but I destroyed my hand out at sea. I was an art major in college, focusing on film, video, and stories.
I'm down for trying anything that won't get me a court martial.
I like kayaks, canoes, and riding on the back of Free Willy.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy every small thing. Because one day they'll only make big things. Like so many inflatable car advertisements.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
