ABOUT ME

I'm a junior at Calvin College in Grand Rapids MI. I live with four other amazing guys. I work as a patient care provider at Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Hospital. During the summers I work steel construction. I would consider my self pretty liberal, but always very open minded. I love meeting new people, ideas, places, essentially anything that is novel.

PHILOSOPHY

Like is mostly a giant pile of sand. Sand is neither bad nor great. However, in this pile of sand there are diamonds, some small, some great. Through life we sift through the sand to collect our diamonds. As we do this we come across piles of shit. Shit sucks. But can be used to grow delicious vegatables which make us better people.

We need to collect our diamonds, and grow our tomatoes from the shit. Basically diamonds are people we meet and experiances we have, and tomatoes are our personalities and our character that we develop.

Interests

I love cities, and I love nature which always makes me happy wherever I am but wanting to be somewhere else at the same time. I love films. I enjoy drumming but am just learning. More than anything I enjoy spending time with people.
