About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and Build my Muse Businesses!

ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm currently traveling, but I used to live in Korea and teach English. I learned how to speak Korean during my time there. I speak Spanish as well too, but I haven't practiced in a while and I'm probably a bit rusty!

I love bikes, biking, and have participated in the San Diego International Triathlon in 2009 and 2010!

I know how to fix almost any kind of bike (provided that I have the proper tools!) and would be more than happy to work on your bike if you are having issues with it!

I love photography but have not been as active as I used to be!

I would love to meet you, especially if you speak a language other than English! I want to learn lots of languages!

I love singing and music and am always constantly working on improving my singing and vocal abilities. If you are a good singer, I would love to meet you too!

PHILOSOPHY

"All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's possible), but calculating risk and acting decisively.

Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth.

Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer."

-Niccolo Machiavelli
