CURRENT MISSION

To experience all the world has to offer and have a few laughs while doing it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student that just finished up at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I soon plan to go on and attain my PhD in English and teach. I lived in the North until I was seven (in PA and CT) then moved down to Knoxville. I was both a bookworm and a sports nut growing up and still am to this day. I love having my roots here in Knoxville, but I always yearn to go to new places. I guess if I had to describe myself...(it always feels awkward doing this)...I'm a very non-confrontational, fun guy who's willing to partake in any adventure and listen to any story. I love just experiencing...well...everywhere, everything, everyone; there's so many great things to relish in this world. Oh, and I have the sense of humor of a middle schooler...I still laugh at fart jokes.

Books: Harry Potter, Death in the Family, Rocket Boys, The Old Man and the Sea, basically anything in the typical American Lit canon, and anything by Jules Verne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've seen was when the Northern Lights made their way down to Knoxville. I'm not certain how it happened, but I doubt I've ever seen anything quite as magnificent.
