About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be wise to the world.

ABOUT ME

Let's see.... A lot has changed since I originally wrote this profile. I'm a 25 year old Chicagoan looking to break the monotony of life. I did 4 years active duty in the military. Good experience, but I'm glad to be out. I'm a personal trainer that was working at a gym close to downtown. And I guess the adventure of travel never left my mind. I'm a pretty social human being, as long as you give me an opening! I absolutely loved Chicago, but I just needed a change. As cliche as this sounds, I am a real laid back and easy going guy (as it says in like ALL my references!), and I'm pretty much down for whatever. Random is always good. There's a lot more to say, but I guess you'll have to meet me to find out!

PHILOSOPHY

To continue to evolve the mind, the body, and the soul.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music can get ridiculous. I grew up with music, so I have a pretty massive list. Genres include electronic, New wave, classic rock, indie rock, alternative, blues, some jazz, hip hop, folk, instrumental, experimental, world.

I like movies that don't look for a cheap laugh. Clever that makes you think. Originality is key.

I feel the same way about books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a dance party with a bunch of Iraqi militia, during the day, without alcohol!
