About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission super awesome adventure time

ABOUT ME

I'm on a mission to live life to the maximum! School is going to be my primary focus for the next 2 years: I'm studying Management and Engineering of Energy and Environment. The perfect amalgamation of some of my interests.

My secondary mission is music. I love to play instruments of all sorts with all kinds of people.

I am very interested in bicycle culture and am hooked on gardening. I love people, I am open minded and thrive in supportive social settings.

I enjoy talking about interesting stuff, sitting in parks, bicycle rides, exploring, make food, playing music and really life in general.

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to live a life filled with love, thats what makes me happy.

The program provided individuals with access to bicycle specific tools and training so that they could continue to bike as there primary mode of transportation.
