About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to discover and create

ABOUT ME

I LOVE Earth.
I question authority, dogma, and generalized bigotry.
I am an optimist, and I believe my journey has been guided by this.
I am an adventurer, risk-taker, and adrenaline junkie. This has taken me to amazing places and given me awesome experiences.
I am an idealist and a realist... sometimes conflicting.
I listen to people guiding me. I ignore people telling me what to do.
The things people are doing to the world make me angry! If the Earth is destroyed, how can any species on it, including humans, evolve to reach higher levels of consciousness?
On that note, I am always down to party and go crazy, and truly enjoy mellow nights on the couch.

PHILOSOPHY

pay it forward...
