CURRENT MISSION

I'm kind of open to anything at the moment. I'm going to take some monstrous journey before I go to law school or graduate school or otherwise. I'm mostly thinking I would like to backpack europe with a fold up bike, but I'm still making up my mind.

ABOUT ME

I think I'm a gypsy at heart. I'm in between college and grad school/law school. still trying to find my way. I've been building up my resume and saving money for the past year and a half and looking to take a grand journey before I get to entrenched in my next career venture.

PHILOSOPHY

I am attempting to realistically and pragmatically set myself up to live idealistically. If I had all the money in the world I would keep enough to secure myself and family, then travel round the world ten times in different routes. Whatever was left over I would give away to noble causes. I live my life cause it's the only choice I have. cause its a gift.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most profound experience I've had to date was when I journeyed to the Palestinian territories. It's hard to find the words to describe why this experience was so profound. It was scary for me to go there in so many ways, physically, existentially, intellectually. There were so many things I had confront within myself in going there. It made me understand many different relationships within myself and without.
