About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to experience everything (except maybe meth)

ABOUT ME

i'm a spontaneous person. i love to take spur of the moment road trips into the mountains, get lost and see what i find. i love joking around and will most likely tease you if i get the chance! i have a dark/dirty sense of humor. creative, always expressing myself in one way or another. i like to think i'm smart. so, i like discussing books, politics, religion. all those things that get you in trouble

PHILOSOPHY

these are gonna sound so cheesy but the old "golden rule" treat others the way you want to be treated and live life to its fullest. i warned you they would be cheesy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple years back I took a mountaineering trip to the ansel adams wilderness. we climbed far up past the treeline. once we got to the top of the peak we spent time alone to reflect and found different spots around the cliff face to sleep. In the morning I found myself surrounded by several humming birds that were darting back and forth around me. still half asleep in my bag I rolled over to look over the ledge and my breath was literally taken away. It was beautiful the enormous lake looked so tiny from that vantage and the snow on the side of the mountain was sparkling and pristine and I could see the sierra nevadas and they seemed to stretch out forever... amazing

also the camden market is awesomesauce!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn navajo.

other than that I love learning about all kinds of cultural differences and histories. I'll always be willing to share my culture experiences and talents with others.
