ABOUT ME

Ok here we go:
Currently 20 so I'm enjoying being of age to drink in Germany. I will start my 4th and final year in Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan. After I get my degree I'm not exactly sure what is next. I know I will be applying for the Peace Corps. Not sure if I will commit if I get nominated. I would like to go South America if that happens though. At Michigan, I am part of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. I know what you are thinking...oh a frat boy. Not me. Remember the saying "Don't judge a book boy it's cover." Not all guys in frats are jerks or like the ones pictured in movies. I do my best to prove this stereotype wrong.

Other random things about me:
- I played the piano for 12 years...I stopped after college but would like to pick it up again at some point
- I am an Eagle Scout
- Played some baseball and wrestled when I was younger
- When I get older I want to own a dog. This dog will be a German Shepard-Husky mix and it will have the Husky's blue eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

At the end of my life I want to look back and know that I lived a happy life...this is all i want.

Algo increíble que he hecho

The most amazing thing I have ever done in my life was go scuba diving. This has beaten out everything, including skydiving. You don't realize how amazing things are only 20 meters down. It's literally an entirely different world. The sea life is remarkable, if the visibility is good you can see schools of fish swimming by. Sometimes you can come close enough to sea turtles that you can touch them. There is also the ultimate feeling of freedom. You can move however you want: float upsidedown, do crazy spins. I think for anyone who hasnt been scuba diving and has the means should do it. It is liberating and eye opening on too many levels to pass up.
