ABOUT ME

.I am 31 years old. I love to travel the world and meet new people among other things. I used to live in China for some years, Now I am back in Texas. I like to do a lot of things from playing sports to biking, to playing the guitar and listening to music, poker, stand up comedy and more. I am a pretty chill guy who loves to enjoy life. I say take advantage of every opportunity you get because you never know when it'll be your last.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about the years in your life but the life in your years. I live life one day at a time. I have different philosphies partly because I minored in it and am fascinatied with a lot of different ideas. I try to live life passionately and with an open heart and mind. I do not judge people for who they are. The best things in life are free.
