About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have an open mind and open heart, vibe with others on the same frequency

ABOUT ME

This box seems a bit miniature for my life story...stay tuned for the full autobiography, coming to a couch near you

But to try and summarize, I'm a dreamer I'm a doer, positive (thoughts become words become actions become habits become your character becomes destiny), I want to meet all kinds of people from all over the world and grow to realize our true potential, even if it's just to share a laugh and a cold beer

PHILOSOPHY

ONE, infinity, love.

If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down

Put yourself in an unfamiliar place, be uncomfortable, live life 1000%, love infinitely
