Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
In an attempt to dodge student loans I want figure out how to go to school forever. And be paid to do it.
ABOUT ME
Man o man. I graduate from Idaho last year and since I have been working as a substitute teacher as well as football coach and another shitty job.
I am spontaneous and love meeting new people and I'm always up for an adventure. I enjoy reading, and have recently found a new affinity in analyzing literature. However, above most things, I value humor. I also have a deep belief that most things don't ultimately matter. This philosophy is a great stress reliever and has ultimately lead me to enjoy almost everything almost all the time.
PHILOSOPHY
Let's do it.
