CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world through people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back guy who loves exploring and seeing new places. I've been a runner most of my life and I feel like running through nature is sometimes one of the best ways to experience it. It's amazing the places you can go with a pair of shoes and some endurance. I also am a fan of driving to random places and I view myself as a spontaneous guy that loves to go wherever the road leads me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To actually think of moments in my life that left me awestruck is really tough for me. It makes me feel as if my life is full of a chain of unexciting events, consumed by school. It's really convicting to know that I haven't had these moments as many people have, I've only had small little trips to places. This is why I joined CS, there's a void of big, breathtaking moments in my life and I feel like being in the CS community would help me to create these memories.

Other that that deal: Backpacking in Big Sur -- my bud's headlamp died, and while I helped him change it out, we heard a growl from the bushes ... it was a mountain lion of course. Nothing more exciting than being stalked by a mountain lion.
