CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my opportunity to be here on Earth

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy being with people, and meeting new people. I'm an energizer--I'm highly motivated when I'm with people. I have a rather outgoing personality, and am quite easy to get along with. I love the outdoors. Really enjoy going on hikes, swimming in rivers and lakes, playing ultimate frisbee or frisbee golf, riding my road bike, playing the djembe, or the guitar, dancing, running, and just sitting in a park and letting the suns rays hit my face. I take showers once a day, and I like water and vegetables and fruits.

PHILOSOPHY

Love and share and be kind and allow laughter

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18 years old, I went to a music festival in Memphis, TN. My friends entered me into a booty dance competition. I went up against 7 girls. I dropped it like it's hot for a few songs, and the dj said, "I've never seen a white dude move like that". And then by the crowds vote, I won the competition, and a Michael Jordan keychain, a flash light/radio, and a Sprite water bottle. It was one of the coolest things that's happened to me

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little bit about film cameras, and a little bit of Guitar and Mandolin and I can cook up some tasty fresh veggie dishes.
