CURRENT MISSION

Study, Study, Study, and Have Fun Doing It

ABOUT ME

Howdy. I'm a relaxed guy from Southern California, living in St. Louis and attending graduate school.

I'm vegan, and buddhist. Although I rarely discuss those aspects of my life unless prompted, some people find that interesting and/or offensive. Your call.

I've got a positive disposition, and love meeting new people. I'm always up for an adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all impermanent; let it go.
