CURRENT MISSION

Hanging out in Baltimore for a while.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Texas- but hate telling people that because they always think of cowboy hats and horses. I left Texas more than fifteen years ago and have spent nine of those years outside the U.S. I have found that the more people I meet from the far reaches of this globe the more I realize that we are fundamentally all the same. We have the same basic needs and desires. We are all Human... The rest of what makes us up is what makes us the individual we are. It is a unique combination of our culture, societal/family values, friendships, and our own experiences which makes us special. It is those differences which we should celebrate- The reason I like meeting new people and learning their stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to waste time with things you don't like...
