CURRENT MISSION

To meet awesome people and go on adventures!

ABOUT ME

I am a very open minded, strange, intellectual, adventurous individual from the mid-west US. I'm laid back and easy going most of the time. I often find myself listening to my close friend's vent then attempting to give them some sort of advice. I also like to over-analyze art and music and most things in general actually... I just generally think far too much.

Going on adventures and having new life experiences are my favorite things to do!

PHILOSOPHY

I think about and discuss my philosophies with people a lot and I couldn't fit it all here but I will try to give a summary. I believe people should be free to do whatever they please as long as it doesn't hurt others. I attempt to make my decisions based on what would bring the most happiness in the people around me while also preserving my own happiness.

I also wish to someday have a widespread positive impact on the world. This has been my motivation for pursuing Engineering and R&D. Even if that doesn't work out, I hope I can still make people smile along the way :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have many fun stories (at least in my opinion, but many others seem to agree too). I cant really pick one to post here but if you host or visit me you will probably hear a few =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been getting into rock climbing lately and there are some great spots near here. So, I could possibly teach some of that. I could teach random things about electrical engineering maybe. I also posses quite a bit of scientific knowledge and a random smattering of other information. I like to bring up random subjects in conversation, maybe we'll learn something?

I would like to learn as much as I can about other's cultures. I may also want to learn to cook a little better
