CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of the vastly beautiful earth and discovery what I'm made of in the process

ABOUT ME

Hi! The best way to start is by saying I'm an introvert with a desire to be an extrovert. It's a strange dichotomy that I myself am still trying to understand. I love and need quality alone time, but desire to get out of my comfort zone and learn to talk to anyone about anything
I have a unique lifestyle, which can only be characterized by the self-designated term of "ruggedly sophisticated". In short, I know how to and enjoy getting my hands (and feet) dirty, but know how to dress in a suit and tie for a business pitch. In long, I work in landscaping/construction...and at an upscale restaurant, I am extremely structured and disciplined...yet don't wash my hair because I believe it's healthier for my hair, I listen to audiobook...while climbing trees. I hold a 4.0 at a top private university...and go to classes barefoot, I know how to start a fire in the woods with only sticks and a piece of metal...and know how to salsa dance. A lot of my lifestyle choices seem to contradict each other, but add together to get a guy who is perfectly content being himself in any situation.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal motto is "Success Through Failure". Failures will always happen, but react to them properly and you will go far beyond your goals.
I live my life in an attempt to experience as much of this beautiful world that God has created. My Christian faith does influences a lot of the choices and actions I make. I believe that we are all equal and loved by God, and put much effort into loving all makes and models of people equally.

Interests

I love, love, love the outdoors and movement! Running, biking, hiking, camping, various sports (mainly soccer), yoga, parkour (don't know what parkour is? Maybe I'll be able to explain it in person some day), tree climbing, and slack-lining, to name a few. I am always looking for new things to try and learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll watch any war movie, but particularly enjoy those based on true stories. They just inspire me to stand up and fight for what I believe in.
I listen to just about every type of music besides hard rock/heavy metal/screamo. And my stipulation for listening to country s that I have to be out west. I have a strong musical background, so I can appreciate most styles of music.
I've been getting into audiobooks lately, but don't really have a set style or author I like. Back in the day I read all of the Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice books and about every WWII history book.
