CURRENT MISSION

explore more and be interested

ABOUT ME

I still feel like I'm 12 years old. Luckily, I have a great wife to keep me aware of reality. I'm originally from a small town near Seattle, USA and have traveled a lived quite a few different places. I live in Glasgow now with my wife as I'm making a PhD and really falling in love with Scotland.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect others, help when you can, live life with a light heart and an active body. Make your own rules! (I think I copied this from some kind of 'inspirational phrases' website.)
