About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Destination Unknown

ABOUT ME

Just a guy who seems to have grown up in the wrong environment. I grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs and pretty much led a typical big city suburban kid life. My environment cultivated my analytical, business side. Now I find myself trying to lead a more well-rounded and fulfilling life, but sometimes it feels like learning to walk all over again.

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything once, twice just to make sure. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Don't judge a book by its cover alone. Not all who wander are lost. Carpe diem!
