ABOUT ME

Grew up in a liberal family in West Central Wisconsin. My family has hosted 5 students through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program from all parts of the world compelling me to spend a year in Chile after high school. I love traveling and getting a more personal understanding of the places I visit.

Currently working as an architect in Midtown Manhattan.

PHILOSOPHY

Still trying to figure that one out.
