CURRENT MISSION

Escape the monotony of adulthood for as long as possible!

ABOUT ME

I live in Fishtown with an old friend, many instruments, and my bike. I work in Center City as a barista and spend my spare time with my girlfriend Becky. We are both international travel enthusiasts without the means to get out and travel too often. I'm currently taking a course to become an Emergency Medical Technician. I really love imaginative music, movies, books, and people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in treating others the way one wants to be treated, keeping your mind wide open, and appreciating the world around you.
Also, reciprocity.
