About Me

I am a small town kid from Texas and currently living in New Zealand on a mission to save the world by positively affecting those around me and by designing and building sustainable homes and businesses that harness renewable energy.

I am a either an outgoing introvert, or a selective extrovert. Basically when I am alone I keep to myself but when I am with friends, either long term or ones I just met, I am very talkative and party hard. When you meet me you will understand. I have been told I am polite and a "good kid", but really I would just say I am generally nice.
