CURRENT MISSION

To live a life without regret

ABOUT ME

I work in Reno NV as a technical analyst for a telecommunications company. Traveling is a passion that makes me feel full of life, though I don't get to do it very often anymore. I always want to try new things (especially foods) and will put in an embarrassing amount of effort into this. I once waited 2 hours in Switzerland for clouds to move so I could take a picture of a mountain that didn't turn out good. I want to meet new people, see your city, find out what your favorite things are, and enjoy a nice drink or five once in a while.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone just wants to be loved and accepted but are only willing to reach out so far for someone to notice. I try to reach out extra far to meet those who can't.

Reserve no harsh words for fate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man has been an indelible experience for me for 13 years. The amazing art, music and how everyone is so open and trusting of each other keep making me go back.

The Swiss Alps made a huge impression on me. I was awestruck by the lush green valleys and glacial waters in the shadow of the most majestic of mountains.

Traveling Europe before I could drink in the U.S. was very fun.
