About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grow

ABOUT ME

Born in China, grew up in the US (Indiana then California) and hoping to be a world traveler before I eventually settle somewhere.

I haven't traveled a whole lot, but the bit that I did has given me a huge appetite for more.

I'm a very laid back guy and love meeting all different types of people. If you've got a story behind you, I'm more than eager to hear it.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live a good life so that I can grow into a better person and maybe even change some of the world around me to reflect that.I'm a constant student and am always on the lookout for more things to learn. I have an optimistic outlook on growth through experiences and I know that even in bad or unpleasant times, there's something to be gained.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to the yellow mountains in China with my art supplies. Check out its pictures online, they look great but what I felt there I don't know if I'll ever find anywhere else in the world.

SCUBA gives you tons of stories, it's really another world. Indescribable.
