CURRENT MISSION

Pursue adventure, catch frogs, meet people, learn new things - big and small

ABOUT ME

I am trying to experience some new things, see new places, and explore the U.S and the world to find my niche.

A Biology and nature oriented individual, I began as a 3 year old toad catcher playing in the mud, and have changed surprisingly little.

At this point of my life I am about learning and engaging with an open mind, as well maintaining an active lifestyle and doing anything I can to make the world a better place. In my case, this may involve catching turtles.
