CURRENT MISSION

To let the world change me so that I can change the world

ABOUT ME

I have traveled extensively, and though traveling is incredible, it is far outweighed by helping people in the process. I strive for adventure and often find it because of my imprudence and recklessness. I live life to the fullest in all of my conquests, rather in Africa or Kansas.
