ABOUT ME

Passionate, great listener, loyal to a fault, doer, loves reading, dive bar type of guy - not a clubber

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a big place and chances are good you don’t have to look far to find someone less privileged than yourself. For those of you who have traveled to 3rd world countries striken with poverty, or simply wandered neglected neighborhoods in your area, you already know this. For those who haven’t ventured outside your “safe zone”, you need to open your eyes to the world around you. If you can’t be thankful for what you have in life, you’re missing the boat. With that said, my philosophy has always involved the concept of giving back to improve the lives of others. If I don’t leave this world a better place than when I entered it, I couldn’t live with myself.
