About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tryin' to find my place in the world. open mind, open heart. attempting to change lives for the better.

ABOUT ME

Generous. Gentleman. Extrovert/Outgoing. Proactive. Sympathetic/Empathetic. Interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

I would be true, for there are those who trust me.
I would be pure for there are those who care.
I would be strong for there is much to suffer.
I would be brave for there is much to dare.
I would be friend to all, the foe, the friendless.
I would be giving and forget the gift.
I would be humble for I know my weakness.
I would look UP, and LAUGH, and LOVE, and LIFT.

"Service is the rent we pay to be living. It is the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time." -Marian Wright Edelman.
