Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Training to work in disaster zones overseas.
ABOUT ME
I'm twenty four years old, currently working and gaining experience as a paramedic. I plan to live a life of service, hopefully overseas, hopefully in the medical field. Experience and meeting the saints of the world are the best ways to learn, academia is good, too.
PHILOSOPHY
Seeking the Omega Seed. I believe in the validity of all perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have lived. I have acted.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: CPR, First aid, rappelling, edible wild foods, fire staff/poi/breathing, snorkeling.
Learn: I'm a crappy swimmer, or the "Arnie" type. I'm working on it but could always use pointers. I'm always up for learning a new recipe. I could use some tips with dog training.
