Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To find a city I love so much, I'm willing to move away to it.
ABOUT ME
I'm a new graduate from the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville. I'm 24 years old and the oldest brother of two, in a family of four. My job with Siemens lets me travel around the country from time to time, and I like to take every chance to explore those new places! I'm big into hiking and getting lost (relatively :P) in nature. I also love big cities and figuring out what makes them different from my own. I'll take any chance to listen to jazz, and give me a cup of coffee at the same time and I'm in heaven. I'll listen to anyone who has a story to share, and I try to keep as open of a mind as I can possibly keep! I'm getting into triathlons, and I think it'd be amazing to do one in a foreign country or town. Basically, I love trying and learning new things, and if I can do it in a new place, all the better!
I linked my Facebook to my profile, and it probably says more about me than I can sum up here! Feel free to digitally stalk me at your leisure :P
PHILOSOPHY
Don't have a philosophy you can sum up in words.
Interests
I'm really interested in new technologies. I work in the healthcare technology, so I naturally find all that pretty interesting, but pretty much anything coming out of silicone valley will grab my attention (bit of an Apple enthusiast, for better or worse). I'm not a fan of "politics" as it's usually framed, but I do love the political process, and I'm excited about having a unique effect on Washington in the future with some cool ideas I'm pulling together. I love getting lost in amazing TV series. House of Cards, Homeland, Top Gear, Breaking Bad just to name a few. Hiking! There's hardly anything better than reaching a peak you've never been to before. Flying. I'm thinking about a career in aviation eventually...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Arguing law in front of federal judges. I competed in college mock trial and learned some amazing things about our legal system and built some unbelievable friendships with amazing competitors across the nation.
Completing my first triathlon. It was only a sprint distance, but it showed me how far I could push my body with a bit of hard work and determination. I've got the bug now...
