About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep it real while keepin' it safe. Spread the love.

ABOUT ME

I am a kid who believes in good faith and kindness. I just want to see people happy, and do what I can to facilitate.

I'm a student at the University of Oregon on the verge of a Masters in Education, allowing me to teach high school physics and math. I plan on taking myself to Australia in November and making a run for it out there. Who knows where I'll end up! Teaching in Thailand?

I like to kick it in the ocean, on mountains, in the forest, and with people. Kindness is key. Mindfulness is pivotal.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice.

J.R.R. Tolkien, tunes that hit a groove.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a surf trip in Costa Rica, on a boat at night, chuggin along through ocean water full of bioluminescent one celled lil creatures that glow when they get stirred up, three dolphins came to say hi and swim in our boat wake. Weaving in and out of eachother, each dolphin had this green glow surrounding them. Reminded me of fairies or something. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You have to see it.
