About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep life an adventure!

ABOUT ME

I live with my friend and fellow thrill seeking adventure addict Nathan Strupp. We are both very outgoing and always out and about. I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in accounting from a state university in Northwestern Washington State. I decided to take a gap year before starting graduate school for a masters in professional accountancy. I recently finished a four month trip to Central Mexico where I studied Spanish and enjoyed experiencing a new culture. My sister, roommate Nathan, and I spent six weeks during the spring of 2009 backpacking and couchsurfing around Western Europe. It was the experience of a lifetime.I am always looking for a new adventure to embark on and I love meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

The character of the small decisions you make in life determines the outcome of the larger decisions you will make further down the road. Honesty and integrity are the foundation of strong character.
