CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about myself and the world around me each and every day!

ABOUT ME

I run, listen to music, coach, travel, take pictures, eat all sorts of food, explore, drum. I usually come off a little quiet, shy and timid at first, but open up pretty quickly. I'm pretty dedicated to things in life, especially in music and running. However, I'm currently seeking a career change, which is a huge task that's a bit difficult to undertake. Perhaps going from sales to education. Weird, eh? I think I'm better suited in a non-office environment and teaching people without being micromanaged and working for the man.

PHILOSOPHY

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." -Steve "Pre"fontaine

Live in the present. You don't necessarily have to plan your entire life from day one. Set short, realistic goals throughout life. You will stumble and fall. You will climb and fly high. Not everything will work in your favor. Accept and be thankful for who you are and what you have to work with. Make the best out of every day as even the darkest days require a candle to be lit.
