CURRENT MISSION

My current mission in life is to utilize my GI Bill to get a bachelors degree and to save up for a road trip across the country.

ABOUT ME

Ex US Army Airborne Infantry, student, classic car enthusiast, guitar player and record collector. I think some people would call me a hipster, but I'm not trying to be ironic, I genuinely like the analog lifestyle, though a computer is still very important to me. I am fascinated by other state and national cultures throughout the world, and I would love to become better acquainted with them.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that the ultimate point of life is be happy, whatever that means to you. If you love working, work. If you like sitting on the beach drinking wine above all else, find a way to make it viable. I also share a strong pride in my country. I think every true American needs to go on the "Great American Roadtrip," as it's sort of our rite of passage.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have jumped out of planes, shot machine guns, exploded thngs and been a fake terrorist while in the Army, and I drive classic cars.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you like cars? Guitars? Questions about the US Military? I can educate you. In exchange, I want you to tell me about your culture too! I could talk about the differences for hours, it's exciting to me. If you're simply from out of state, I'll do what I can to show you the local flavor, though I'm admittedly a more introverted person and I don't go out that often.
