CURRENT MISSION

Live while the living is good.

ABOUT ME

Life is short and I'm out to see as much of the world as possible while I still have my youth. I'm an easy going person who likes to live in the moment and meet people from all walks of life. Whether its sitting for a chat in a cafe or partying til the sun comes up, if the people are fun, I'm there.

I am from Texas but lack the true southern accent, which comes as a bit of a disappointment to some. I do, however, ride a horse and wear a cowboy hat most places I go. The last few years of my life have been spent under the California sunshine in smoggy LA going to school and all the live music I can afford.

PHILOSOPHY

Just being alive and experiencing the world is good enough for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For two summers I lived in Canada leading canoe trips through northern Ontario. I led a 20 day whitewater trip in which we lived out of backpacks and saw no one until we reached our destination.

I've also seen Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Prince and Roger Waters in concert. Some of the happiest moments of my life.
