About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recent College Graduate- Trying to determine how to transcend Bohmemianism into global citizenship

ABOUT ME

Just trying to live some stories worth telling.

I'm from the South, I proudly claim fried chicken and sweet tea. I spent a year in Germany getting my cultural bona fides and meeting some of the most amazing people (and sampling some local beers on the way)

"I'm not an idealist, just an egotist searching for purpose"

PHILOSOPHY

"You need git up, git out and git somethin
How will you make it if you never even try
You need to git up, git out and git somethin
Cuz you and I got to do for you and I"

American Pragmatist- Master of Improvisation - Lets get things done.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Pergammon Altar of Zeus and the Ishtar gate in Berlin. It was amazing, it delighted my little art history heart. I was completely overcome by the beauty, grandeur and immense physical sense of history they both radiated.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, I love history. I'm better at history but I'll freely offer up my talents to anyone. Also my liberal arts education has endowed me with a love of talking. I'm only a junior conversationalist, hoping to meet a master.
