ABOUT ME

I am fun, laid back, and easy to get along with. I'm not a big partier, but I still go out with everybody. I love everything adventure, and I love a great story. The outdoors is where I feel most at home:)

Interests

I love all things that I have not done! Things I do regularly are disc golf, foosball, poker, any card or board game, hiking, volleyball, paintball, and traveling.
I like to ask questions about things that other people know a lot about. I am a great listener. The things I have the most opinions about are religion, business, philanthropy, not-for-profits, and leadership. I am not an arguer about these topics though, and I am absolutely open to being wrong about everything I believe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've streaked through the streets of downtown New York. (It was actually Hoboken, New Jersey right across the bridge, but New York sounds cooler:)

I won the Student Excellence Award from Southwestern Advantage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYGNA09JnvE
