CURRENT MISSION

Live life willing to risk

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a cattle ranch in western South Dakota but haven't lived there for some years. I recently moved back to the states from Spain where I worked with an NGO for a year and am now resettling back in Charlotte, NC for an undetermined amount of time. I like change and love traveling and connecting with new friends. I like living with a flexible schedule and am not much of a planner...so I guess that means I'm pretty laid back.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe I was created to live life in a way that I am willing to risk...risk failure, rejection, pain, etc that I might live life more fully and experience more amazing and wonderful things because I was willing to take risks.
