CURRENT MISSION

To go a summer without traveling and not go insane.

ABOUT ME

I'm 21. I'm from Texas but I'm living in Oklahoma. I will graduate with a degree in International Relations and a minor in German in a year. Other than that, I'm just a regular old kind-hearted guy who loves people, travel, and crazy experiences (which always seem to happen to me even when I'm not looking for them). I'm a sucker for adventure, local or abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

I love people. Absolutely love them. Everyone is unique, everyone has value. Everyone needs to have someone hear their story. I'm human, so I fail often at this, but I strive to show people that they have value, that they have worth. Oh, and to quote my fave movie Terminator 2, "no fate but what you make".

Music, Movies, and Books

I pretty much like all music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got lost on top of a mountain in Uganda, at night, during a lightning storm. It was breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not exactly sure what I could share. Often times I realize that I have a random skill that I never knew I had until it was required, and then I forget I have it. For the international friends, I can teach English and how to survive the sometimes random social culture of Americans.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahrain, India, Uganda

Countries I’ve Lived In
