About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet many people, make a few friends, have atleast one life changing experience

ABOUT ME

North Dakotan born and raised. I value my heritage and love learning about others. I am pretty laid back, enjoy a good conversation, have an insatiable curiosity about just about everything I see, and most importantly value the Golden Rule. I feel the worst way to live is to avoid the things you fear. I keep myself open to just about anything especially the things that scare the crap out of me.

PHILOSOPHY

Deje el mundo cambiarle y usted puede cambiar el mundo
{Let the world change you and you can change the world)
~Ernesto Guevara~
