CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to find employment in the commerical fishing industry somewhere in Alaska for the summer. I'll either be catching fish or gutting fish all summer.

ABOUT ME

I recently quit both my jobs, sold my car, and road tripped up to Seattle to find a job in Alaska for the summer. I have a TEFL certificate and plan on doing that for a while in many different places. I love skateboarding, sandwich construction, and playing music.

PHILOSOPHY

you cannot love others until you love yourself. You cannot truly love yourself until you begin to understand yourself. but you must be careful to find a balance between introspection, living an examined life, and living in the moment. Follow your passions, have a positive mental attitude, and things will work out.
