Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To do as much good in this world as I can and on an endless quest for the best BBQ in the world.
ABOUT ME
A globe trotting spy. When i'm home in Chicago my cover is a researcher at a University running a program that helps people with disabilities start their own businesses. I also love volunteering and engaging in cultural events around the city whenever the opportunity presents itself.
PHILOSOPHY
Live life fully and without regret. People and experiences are the most important things in life, the pursuit of money and possessions are just distractions from true happiness.
