About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do."-Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

I was born in the USA and then my family moved to Australia for 10 years then moved back to the States. I love to travel all over, especially internationally. The US is alright, I just feel a greater sense of adventure overseas.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe "luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." So it's important to take advantage of every opportunity because you never know where it will lead you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided literally at the last minute to fly to New York (a 5 hour flight). I decided about 7pm that night, ran home and packed and caught the last flight out about midnight. I slept maybe 3 hours the entire weekend. Did a quick trip up to Canada to Niagara Falls and came home Monday. Was a scary idea at the time but I loved it. And now it's one of my favorite memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a film major so I can recall plenty of random film facts, and I know how to make a film (while mediocre) from beginning to the last stages in the editing lab. :)
