ABOUT ME

Born and raised in southern California. College baseball player in Texas. I am up for anything and I want to experience all the world has to offer. I love intellectual conversations about life and learning, other people's stories, history, and music! I am an adrenaline junkie that is always up for trying new things! I am broadening my horizons with food and coffee. Knowledge is priceless, reading books lets you live a thousand lives, and you first must be lost in order to be found!

PHILOSOPHY

"Between the stimulus and the response, there is a choice. And in that choice lies your freedom." -Viktor Frankl

I believe that you must learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable positions and we only have one chance at life! I whole-heartedly believe in the Andrew Carnegie dictum and I want to change the world. Our world is full of negativity and it is your choice to either accept it, ignore it, or change it!

"If you aren't living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space." -Marcus Luttrell

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Indie Pop, Reggae, Spanish music of any kind!

Movies- I'm a hopeless romantic, I love chick flicks and Rom-Coms, comedies are awesome and I thoroughly enjoy war movies, sports thrillers, edge-of-my seat dramas, and horrifying paranormal movies. All-time favorites are: The Notebook and Friends With Benefits. Saving Private Ryan and Miracle are classics as well!

Books- Awesome way to escape from reality and learn how to change your life. Knowledge is priceless and books offer such an amazing amount of perspective for people to take in! I love personal development books, autobiographies, and motivational books! My favorites are Lone Survivor and Man's Search for Meaning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmmm... Slept under the Eiffel Tower, ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, watched a meteor shower in Slovenski Raj, and played professional soccer in Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about a positive perspective on life, how to get through childhood adversity, living life to the fullest and never giving into society's norms..

I want to learn other people's perspectives on life, learn how to speak Spanish fluently, how to be different than my parents, and the secret to life!
