CURRENT MISSION

carpe diem!

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and immersing myself in other cultures and listening to people's experiences. I love learning languages, playing most sports, exercising, yoga, chess, meditation, playing the djembe, guitar, singing, drawing, painting, gardening & cooking. I don't smoke. I love reading and the outdoors! I enjoy serving others and am passionate about social justice.

PHILOSOPHY

Fear God and shun evil. "One day at a time". Love God, Love my neighbor as myself. Always be compassionate: patient & kind. Persevere, protect and hope. Stand up for the weak. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Heal the sick. Be a voice for the voiceless. Live by faith. Trust in God.

Teach, Learn, Share

Steve Jobs has given me the best advice I can think of... Connect the dots...
When it comes to work and love, follow your heart and don't ever settle...
Live every day as it's your last... because someday you'll be right...
Stay Hungry.
Stay Foolish.
