About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the secret to life.

ABOUT ME

I'm an extremely chill, laid-back person. Things usually work out for me at the very last minute (when I happen to plan them lol) I like to keep an open mind to all different viewpoints and orientations, because you never know what you can learn from a different perspective. When my house is all empty and lonely, I'd rather crash on a friends couch than be home alone (I guess that makes a great fit for this site).

Sometimes I'm a bit of a thrill seeker. I ride way too fast on my motorcycle and go flying through the woods on my mountain bike. (I've got the scars to prove it too!) I'm usually staying active by playing tennis, basketball, racketball, lifting weights, running, etc.

I love food! Cooking it, trying exotic dishes, eating until I can't move anymore, its all great. Nutrition and staying fit are also important to me, some people like to call me a health freak, but I just like feeling and looking good.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat the earth we all share with care and respect, love the good friends you have and the good friends you'll make and try not to burn down bridges. Forgiveness can always be an option. Never take more than you're willing to give back. My political views go by the saying, 'live and let live'.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Harold and Kumar (Both of them!), Zoolander,

Music: I love lots of different music. I've been to two 'hippie' music festivals, both were absolutely amazing, both the vibe and the music. I've been to Ultra Music Festival, one of the biggest electronic music gatherings, and danced my ass off and had a great time there too. If I had to vaguely describe what I like by genre it'd be: old school hip-hop, indie rock, folk, post-rock, trance, ambient, classic rock (pink floyd and led zep are legends), and reggae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfing overhead waves in costa rica, nearly drowning multiple times in a day but still going at it.
