About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work hard and be nice to people. Everything after that is out of your control.

ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm an independent person that has a tendency to do impulsive things, which keeps life interesting. Minimalism is something I try to abide by, but in this day and age it can be hard. Right now, I'm living the Portland dream working as a baker at a neighborhood coffee shop and biking everywhere I go.

PHILOSOPHY
