CURRENT MISSION

Find out what's on the bottom of my shoe.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college graduate, hanging out in limbo.

I grew up in rural South Dakota. I have studied abroad in Spain and Guatemala, and intend to travel more in the future. I enjoy the chaos and culture of cities, but sometimes when I am traveling all I crave is the wide, expanse of the prairie.

I am a huge nerd who loves to have a good time. It's all about the simple pleasures for me. I couldn't think of a more productive way to spend an hour (or more) than sharing a drink with a friend. I'm one of those strange people who enjoys physical labor and getting my hands dirty. I should probably mention how I love live music. I am always looking for the next show to go to. I see as many bands as my pocket book will allow.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good to people.

Interests

I love food, beer, wine, and coffee. I love running, biking, swimming, hiking, and any kind of activity done outdoors. I like to see live music. I like to dance, and I like it even better when other people dance with me. I can barely play the guitar but would like to get better. I enjoy reading, writing and drawing.
