CURRENT MISSION

To serve the world, one dance fight at a time

ABOUT ME

I revel in people's differences, which is why I love traveling so much I suppose. The plethora of experiences, ideas, and cultures all around the globe is fascinating and crazy exciting.
I try to think critically always, yet still find humor in most everything, and if you ask me, I'm hilarious. But I realize I'm sort of biased. Oh! And I have a ridiculous memory for movie lines. Which you should feel free to not interpret as a challenge :).
I love to experience new things and I admire people who take initiative and act on their aspirations, so I try to be that way myself. I crave fun and adventure, although I do like arming myself with knowledge first before I dive into the unknown.

Other colorful tidbits about me:
Have a pet reptile named Trogdor
I'm a shame to my hometown (the Starbucks mecca), in that I don't like to drink coffee
I endure a consuming addiction to fantasy football.
I'm freaking enthralled with the Tour de France.
