About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Plan and complete a solo circumnavigation

ABOUT ME

I want meet many new people. In my expirience music has always been the best at bringing people together. It is beyond language. Music is my first love. I play various instruments. I've been away from CS for a while but am looking forward to getting involved once again.

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to think that we as human beings are not that different from one another. Since all we have is each other we need to help one another. We are all in this together. Staying in one place for too long is never a good thing. Comfort creates complacency.
