CURRENT MISSION

To create positive meaningful change.

ABOUT ME

I want to travel as much as possible, meet as many awesome people as possible and just generally learn who I am.

I'm studied civil engineering to learn how things work, in my heart I am an architect and by trade I am a sustainability consultant. I'm a creative guy who's very happy go lucky. A little bit of a hippie and just very happy to enjoy the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

'Life is the longest thing you have, we all have the same amount of time, the difference lies in how you use it.'

'Not all those who wander are lost.'
