About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is a gift, make it epic

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and climb alot. I've recently come to the realization that life is way too short and I will pursue the most meaningful existence that I can.

PHILOSOPHY

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Robert A. Heinlen
