CURRENT MISSION

Being positive, developing lifelong relationships and random connections.

ABOUT ME

I'm an encyclopedia of random facts and full of energy. As a kid I worked extensively and now I intend to enjoy and just say yes to opportunities. I have a flexible mindset and do not subscribe to any particular ideologies in order to prevent confirmation biases.

PHILOSOPHY

my personal philosophy is just to try and do what others aren't doing and just being as kind as one is capable of. I live my life in order to cultivate a framework for adventure, service to others, and an opportunity to develop habits that may lead to being world class in some kind of activity.
