CURRENT MISSION

To place myself into new, unique, and exciting positions in places I only ever dreamed I'd visit as a child. New ideas and perceptions are crafted from the prismatic array of our cultures and Earth's splendors.

ABOUT ME

I'm an aspiring globetrotter who strives to discover the academic intellect and cultural awareness necessary to call myself a cultured intellectual. My method: travel as much as I can. I try to keep the variety high, but it's taking a lot of effort to resist the calls of Costa Rica. As for a little personal history: I'm a university graduate with degrees in Civil and Fire Protection Engineering. I like figuring out how things work- it makes the world a much more interesting place.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience expands the mind, but attitude opens it.
