CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Mobile most of my life. I love outside activities like kayaking and biking, and also cooking and eating a variety of foods. I love meeting new friends and showing them around. I've traveled to all sorts of places, and I love trying new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a dream for his/her life, and it's kinda sad when they don't try to make that dream happen. The journey can be frustrating at times, but so rewarding in the long run.
