CURRENT MISSION

"A wise man was taking a sunrise walk along the beach. In the distance he caught sight of a young man who seemed to be dancing along the waves. As he got closer he saw the young man was, in fact, picking up starfish from the sand and tossing them gently back into the ocean.

'What are you doing?' the wise man asked.

'The sun is coming up and the tide is going out; if I don't throw them in they'll die,' said the young man.

'But young man, there are miles and miles of beach with starfish all along it - you can't possibility make a difference.'

The young man bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it lovingly back into the ocean, past the breaking waves. 'I made a difference for that one,' he replied."

My mission? To live like the kid in that story.

ABOUT ME

I love music more than anything else in the whole entire world. Finishing up college for a philosophy degree this coming spring, so I'm qualified to work in ancient Greece. Just trying my best to make the world a little brighter.

PHILOSOPHY

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world can know peace."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Africa a few summers ago, and it was life changing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught karate/self defense for 4+ years, know a considerable bit about music and photography, and formally study philosophy. I enjoy nothing more than sharing knowledge and ideas with others!

I'll do anything for anybody, man. I'm always down for good conversation, and I can play music for you if that's what you're into.
