CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through unbiased eyes and embrace the cultural immersion of being in different countries and meeting new and exciting people.

ABOUT ME

I am a very open minded, free spirited, and active student of life and enjoy meeting new people and discovering new friends, hobbies, and locations. I am 21 years old and studying in Rome for the Fall 2012 semester and taking full advantage of seeing as much of the world as I can. I consider myself a responsible, respectful, and trustworthy person and value those character traits in those I spend my time with.

I have been swimming competitively since I was a young boy and continue to enjoy my second home, the swimming pool. Since the age of 15 I have had a job and understand the importance of being a mature, smart, and hard working person.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. The more good you do the more good there is out there in the world. The more good there is in the world the higher chance that good comes to you and those you care about, because of this you should act in a way that brings the about the most happiness and least suffering into the world.
