About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To figure out my mission.

ABOUT ME

I'm a wild man. I've traveled around most of this country by foot, thumb, freight train, normal train, plane and automobile. I'm attempting to take a break from my wild days and get my life in order here in Austin TX. This working life is smothering me, so I would love to get together with any travelers and trade stories.

I currently work for UT doing research on fire ants. At times it's fun, at times it's monotonous, at times it's just hell.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't text while high
