CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to smile

ABOUT ME

I have had many travels, many friends, and I have lived many lives in 25 years. Stock broker, Semi-pro soccer player, Anthropologist, Historian, Banker, a shoe salesman(not an al bundy), soccer coach, son, frat brother, Catholic school boy, and many more. Finding me is what has landed me currently in Korea. And dude is it great. I love music, I would say it is something I feel in my soul. Living in korea has been oddly liberating.

PHILOSOPHY

I made a decision about a year ago to smile more. Things come full circle. I think human inner beauty is the most wonderful thing on earth. I think we all have the ability to affect this world in a positive way. Its just a matter of whether we will or not.

A cool breeze is natures way of pinching you.

My father told me before I left home to be an open bowl and to always be hungry...
