CURRENT MISSION

New Home Minneapolis, Spring 2012

ABOUT ME

I believe it is fundamental to have a desire and passion for striving to be self aware in order to succeed and grow as strong individuals; and if we do not first have ourselves, we do not have a basis of being.

Just in my opinion, the possibility of meeting people, of trying to understand another human being's sense of being all while dealing with our own turmoils and difficulties , is not just challenging, but what makes life entirely worth living.

I live in Southwest Minneapolis with my two kids and soon to be wife Greta. We're trying to get out of the house to explore the city as time allows, though there isn't a ton of it between kids and work! Hopefully we'll be available for hosting as life settles down a bit.

Teach, learn and share the gift of patience and tolerance. Listen carefully and you may find that behind each story lies a bit more of the person's true being. Learn that you're never done learning.
