About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a renowned graphic artist and be a couch surfing nomad.

ABOUT ME

There is no possible way to convey to you who I am through a small paragraph, and to try to do so would just give you the wrong impression. The only thing I can assure you of is that I have a thirst for life and adventure. I want to experience so many things and try to leave some positive energy and good ideas on the planet. However, I can tell you that I'm really open minded and talkative. Always looking to meet new and interesting people from everywhere and from all walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY

The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him, The unreasonable man attempts to mold the world to his liking, Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of movies, too many to list. I do have a fondness for documentaries, based on true story adaptations, and Independent films, they just focus more on the storytelling as opposed to relying so heavily on special effects. I would consider myself a film buff.

I have an extensive digital music library that I've compiled over the last 10 years, and a growing vinyl collection that you are more than welcome to listen to, theres also a couple small record stores in town.

Classical, folk, indie, hardcore, psychadelic, surf-rock, reggae, hip hop, funk, ambient, blues, classical, house, techno, grunge, (some) dubstep, drum and bass, power-pop, electro, electronica, 8bit, glitch, vaporwave, chillwave, shoegaze, drone, witch house, emo, acoustic, math rock, americana, nu rave, lo-fi, dream-pop, garage, punk both new and old. Open to anything, but always looking for something new, innovative and fun to listen to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I find most people and places and just the world we live in to be generally amazing things. I travel frequently in Europe and the US. Once won a graphic design award from Columbia University. Part Native American (Cherokee) used to visit living relatives on the reservation
