About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn from other people while having a good time. A good time for me could be sharing a meal, playing sports, having drinks, or just touring around a city.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, fun loving, and considerate. I like almost every kind of food and enjoy turning normal ingredients into something spectacular! I would rather play sports than watch them (but sometimes it is nice to sit back with a beer and relax). I like to learn about other cultures and what makes people happy. I'm searching for a higher "Quality" of life instead of just trying to make the most money. Laughter is a very important to me and I have a sort of dry humor. I like to dance and have been known to do such moves as The Booty Pow, Rump Shaker, Running Man, 3 Wheeled Shopping Cart, and many other embarrassing maneuvers.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people as you would like to be treated. Try to see things through other peoples eyes. Practice random acts of kindness. Be positive and happy!
