CURRENT MISSION

To be a lifelong learner as well as participate in creating a more just world.

ABOUT ME

Travel is how I learn about myself and the world around me. I love a good discussion of literature or philosophy although I still enjoy going out and having a good time. I have a desire to not only see the world but affect it for good. To help loose the bonds of injustice while also loosening up at the local bar. My ethic for freedom of the oppressed and marginalized is motivated by my Christian beliefs.

PHILOSOPHY

A life informed by Catholicism, Science, Philosophy and love for my fellow person. Trying to live the consequences of my own beliefs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, especially live. I enjoy folk/singer-songwriter music, some current favorites are Noah Gundersen, Dawes and Josh Garrels. I also listen to a lot of downtempo electronic music ie chillwave. In reality I'm open to any style of music other than country.

I went to Bonnaroo. It was amazing.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Chuck are the shows that really stick out.

I enjoy reading modernist novels, black comedy and books on philosophy and religion. I also have the habit of reading lonely planet guidebooks and dreaming about future travels. My current favorites are Kurt Vonnegut, Alasdair Macintyre and James Joyce.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
