CURRENT MISSION

To be the best version of myself I can be

ABOUT ME

What people usually notice about me, right off the bat, is that I'm a genuinely nice guy. Make you a cup of tea, ask you if you need any dishes washed - kinda nice. I'm friendly, love animals, and am INCREDIBLY low-maintenance. Just being in a new environment is enough to make me content. No need to feel the need to entertain me. I'm open minded and open to trying just about anything. I love people and getting to know them, and love getting to know people and making friends. Some quick words friends would use to describe me would be sweet, dorky, animated, friendly, and caring.
---jeez, I feel like I'm advertising myself. Sorry if I'm selling to hard!

PHILOSOPHY

Ambition is what separates us from the animals. We all have the potential to do amazing things, we just need to get started.

and

Don't be a jerk. Treat others how you would want to be treated. You are no better than anyone else.
