CURRENT MISSION

To positively impact everyone I meet.

ABOUT ME

I choose to live life to the fullest. I love creating great memories and I can get along with virtually anyone.

I believe in always staying true to myself, never fitting in a box and always speaking up and standing up for those who can't do so for themselves.

I love challenging people's way of thinking and I wouldn't mind staying up all night doing it over a drink or 3 because I love entertaining, debating, thinking, etc.

I'm a straight vegetarian African Transman and I enjoy people who embrace their own "weird."

PHILOSOPHY

You can learn from everyone that you meet and the best learning experiences are sometimes the most unexpected ones. Life is full of lessons.
