CURRENT MISSION

To find a way to combine cycling, traveling, filmmaking and photography into a job.

ABOUT ME

I love talking about art, film, photography, music, and tennis. While I love music and tennis, I cannot play tennis nor can I play any musical instrument except the clarinet. I love to run cross country and ride my bicycle; I do not want to own a car. If anyone wants to go cycling with me anywhere, that would be awesome. I also love hot chocolate, squash, and falafel.

I think I am a funny guy and love doing a lot of things.

PHILOSOPHY

roll with it and be nice to everyone, avoid "drama" and be flexible.
