Grew up in Vegas, went to college in Reno, was living in San Francisco for about 3 years until I up and quit my job to backpack through SE Asia. I'm now cold chillin in Melbourne, Australia and hope to see a lot more of OZ soon.

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn and experience as much of the world as possible before I die. And of course, happiness... whatever that means!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to try to understand why things are the way they are, as they are. I try to constantly change my perception by changing my perspective. And of course, I try to enjoy the human experience- art, family, adventure, exploration, music, escapes, relationships, etc. I also try to live life in a way that reduces suffering for all beings, human or otherwise, which can be tricky in this modern global village of a world we live in.
