CURRENT MISSION

To find truth, enjoy beauty, love goodness.

ABOUT ME

What about me? I like to try new things. Trying new things makes life interesting, taking an interest in others makes life worth living. I love traveling, but at the end of the day, there's no place like home.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard. Do good things. Enjoy friends and family.

Interests

Running, hiking, my family, camping, philosophy, photography, coding, my friends, music, Mexico, unusual movies, finding clever solutions to challenges and I want to learn new things and learn how to do new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam in the lake in a crater at the top of a volcano. That was cool.
