ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Connor! I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and have lived in a number of different places since leaving home - including Vermont, Boston, Michigan, and Seattle in the United States and the city of Saratov in Russia.

I have an active spirit and love being outside, whether it's in a canoe, on a bike, or on a surfboard. I have a deep curiosity about the world and all the experiences it has to offer. I'm genuinely interested by other people and learning about what makes them unique!

I strive to learn and grow and to live more fully today then I did yesterday. To me, that means bringing more of my attention and effort to the present moment and constantly acting upon opportunities to help other people, if even in small ways. I've found fulfillment in doing work that has a positive impact on others. I do my best to approach life with openness to new experiences and a deep appreciation for the beauty in my surroundings and in other people.

PHILOSOPHY

To be open to new experiences, to grow and learn constantly, and to work to improve the lives of others.
