CURRENT MISSION

Be happy, do my best and have fun! Life is what you make of it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a genuinely nice guy that does not conform to social constructs or what's considered "normal". I know who I am and am happy with who I've become. I love good conversation, enjoy laughing with friends and have fun no matter what I'm doing.

I am generally outgoing and am a down-to-earth, laid back guy. I think a lot and am sometimes crazy but I've learned something in life: It's the crazy, paradoxical people that are always the most interesting!

Anyway, it's difficult to summarize "All about you" in a couple of cute, digestible paragraphs. If you want to know more, the best way to find out is to simply ask! I'm open to it. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Lifelong learning is important to me. When we stop learning, when we stop pushing ourselves to be better than we currently are, that's when we stop living.

It's imperative that we live in the moment. Each moment is unique and there is never nothing going on. Being alive requires intense feeling and constant energy, but it's worth it.

Be extreme. If something is worth doing, then it's worth doing with all of your potential.

Take care of our planet. Earth is what provides everything for us. It's important that we are responsible to it and for it, because without Earth, we would cease to exist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the tallest mountain, Mt. Borah, in my home state, Idaho. However, I reached the summit just before dawn (Night-climbing!!!) and watched the sunrise with some good friends.

Of course, there's many more. :)
