About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having fun, contributing positivity, exploring, not taking life too seriously

ABOUT ME

I'm a born and bred Californian, but I consider myself a citizen of the world more than anything. I've spent 3 of the past 4 years living abroad and that has really affected my perspective of the world. The wonderful nature of people globewide has shown me that across cultures our similarities far outweigh our differences. I enjoy being outdoors and sharing time with friends and family. I have many passions and my biggest personal challenge is balancing them all.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a big opportunity for enjoyment. Enjoyment comes from spending good times in good places with good people. Mostly just looking to contribute a positive vibe to the world, animate and inanimate objects alike.

Interests

I enjoy being outside and lots of non-competitive outdoor sports: hiking, soccer, cycling, open ocean swimming, scuba, frisbee. I'm also a river-raft guide. Gardening and building things too. I also like to drawing, cooking, and making crafts. And most importantly, hanging around with friends and talking about life.
