About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Choosing between going back to Taiwan for a sixth year of teaching English, helping make Bernie Sanders the next president, or going to work and travel around New Zealand?

ABOUT ME

I want to change the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"My country is the world and my religion is to do good." -Thomas Paine

Interests

I enjoy watching and playing sports. Watching: baseball, basketball, soccer. Playing: basketball, kayaking, tennis, golf, and running. I also love hiking/trail running, I want to be the first person to climb all of Taiwan's 白岳 and Colorado's 14ers. Maybe it's been done already, but I doubt it. I wanna start a blog called topsoftheworld.com, fbut it cost like $1000 to register the domain. RIVER TRACING!!
