CURRENT MISSION

to show compassion to all living things. to meet people in all different walks of life, and to have fun in everything I do.

ABOUT ME

I thrive in unfamiliar environments and enjoy getting lost. i am curious and crave adventure. I embrace change (or strive to). I have a pretty large comfort zone. I am inspired when I listen and learn from people's stories of their past and present daily struggles. I enjoy sweating from a variety of activities because it makes me feel alive. not a fan of shadyness and can appreciate brutal honesty.

I truly believe that laughing is the best medicine and enjoy it over... a good cup of coffee, tea, a stiff cocktail, or my favorite, beer, while nourishing the palette with different, unique cuisines.

PHILOSOPHY

"Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit than a secure future."
- Jon Krakaue

explore. color out of the lines.

I strive to acknowledge that I am constantly changing.

Do what you love. Love what you do.

all of time is transitory.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
