CURRENT MISSION

To master the sport of squash.

ABOUT ME

On a constant quest to better understand the world. I can't wait for the next adventure and love to figure out my travels as I go. I love everything about sports and try to be as active as I can. If it's biking, hiking, or soccer I'm there. I also have a strong desire to learn about other cultures. Understanding ways of life different from my own and obtaining new perspectives fascinates me.

PHILOSOPHY

Do things now that you'll be proud of when you're older.

Teach, Learn, Share

This quote has taught me how to approach problems rather well: 'You cannot use a spear to kill a flea that is biting you, and a shield is no use against a monster that can gobble you up shield and all. There is only one way to win against both a flea and a monster: you must think better than both of them'
