CURRENT MISSION

First, to do documentaries. Eventually, I aspire to become a wise old man, grow a beard, and write a book.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old product of the Pacific Northwest, digital native, raised in the silver spoon suburbs and currently living in Seattle with 6 of my best friends in a big old house that is always full of music. I feel alive now that I'm done with school, I think the winters are too cold here, and I think Americans like myself should travel beyond tourist hotspots.

PHILOSOPHY

It seems the greater one broadens their surroundings, the greater they are exposed to a whole range of ideas and lifestyles.
