CURRENT MISSION

I have until the end of October to see as much of Europe as I can

ABOUT ME

I can be the most quiet guy at the party or the one provoking more silliness. I mostly love to laugh, share a smile, and keep learning about people. It might be my Midwest upbringing that makes it difficult to talk about myself, but people tend to find me fun, interested, and warm.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn more everyday and be good to people, but daily, be good to a person.

Interests

The most interesting part of my life is meeting new people. Stopping when you're in a crowded bar, looking around at each smirk, frown, guffaw, and thinking about the deep complexity, history, and future of each person. Thinking about all the beautiful, ugly, and monotonous things these people will do. Or maybe they're just thinking the same thought about you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If we're going to be honest with each other, the most intense feelings are probably related to the opposite sex. I am a fool for love, the sort of soul demolishing silliness reserved for bad fiction.

I also really enjoyed my trip around western Europe. Many moments of wide eyed amazement at the incredible surroundings or an outrageous adventure.
