Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Figuring out how to live a life without barriers.
I believe that we each have more control over our lives than most people realize, that positive thinking helps create positive reality, and that there truly are no barriers in life. And the only way to test these theories is to try them out (which is the fun part)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've traveled to Taiwan twice with my college jazz band to play multiple shows. Some of which included audiences in the thousands. I never thought I'd feel like a rock star from playing jazz! That being said, I did get to play Billy Jean as a tribute to Michael Jackson after he passed. Too much fun!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a very reflective, aware, deep thinker, and I have a strong relative outlook on life. I really enjoy talking with people and I feel like I have a lot to offer on "philosophical" topics. .
On the flip side... That is what I'm most interested in learning. I am planning on traveling as a way to see life from a different perspective. Meeting people is the most powerful way to learn new perspectives and ideals.
