CURRENT MISSION

To love life and share this wild ride with as many good people as possible!

ABOUT ME

Right now I live in Columbia, MO USA attending university for a bachelor's degree in political science and history. I also work at a bakery called Uprise as an artisan baker. I sometimes work odd jobs on local film shoots. I work for the True/False Film Festival every spring checking all the movies as they come in and screening them for audio/video quality and possible tech problems.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy, mind your own business, withhold judgement on others, never take yourself too seriously, laugh.... a lot. Anyone can dance, don't wear your beliefs or your emotions on your sleeve, experience as much as you can in this life, work hard, find worthwhile things to care about, make other people's needs a priority, live with humility and a servant's heart, always be in the moment, appreciate everyone and everything you have because nothing lasts forever, never stop learning, let people know how much they mean to you...
