About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

When put on the spot this is a very difficult box to fill in...

I believe in working hard and playing hard, but that makes me sound really intense, and I'm not at all.

I believe in being who you are and living life on purpose.

I believe this is begining to sound a bit cheesey...

I've got a lot to learn,and hopefully I can give something back along the way.

I am happiest when I am traveling. I usually travel alone. Probably because I won't wait around very long for others to decide they are ready. It's nothing personal, I just learned a long time ago that waiting for others is a great way to never do anything. I don't mind though. I generally meet more people when I'm alone, and when I don't I'm happy for the silence and reflection.
