CURRENT MISSION

To reinvent myself through experiences and positive thinking.

ABOUT ME

I am on a bit of an adventurous kick right now. I've spent a good amount of time in the last couple of years backpacking and cycling around the U.S.

My latest trip is going to be a cycling tour from Tokyo to Kagoshima and seeing as much as I can along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Always strive to live a more complex and vibrant life. Hone yourself through adversity. Never let failure keep you down.
