About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and understand as much as I can with the time given to me

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, open-minded, and love to expand my horizons through experience and conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't make many dollars, but I try to make sense ;)

"Watch your thoughts, for they become your words.
Watch your words, for they become your actions.
Watch your actions, for they become your habits.
Watch your habits, for they become your character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your life."

- The Buddha
