ABOUT ME

I am adventurous and will learn anything one wants to teach me. e.g. from past experiences= how to shoot a bat, unicycle, climb a mango tree, stand up on a knee board, drive a boat and plane... i am easy going and not a hassle to have around. you want your space you have it, you want to take me out - lets go!

PHILOSOPHY

relationships are most important> to build community and invest time into other peoples lives to become more connected.
