About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world, honing my talents, and writing screenplays.

ABOUT ME

Back in 2014, I quit my job and flew to Southeast Asia. In 2018, I quit my job again to do a similar thing. Currently traveling around the world.

I am really laid back and easy to get along with. I love music and film (particularly the latter), and have many interests. One of my dreams is to travel to different countries, as I have lived in the USA my entire life.

Very open to all sorts of people and ideas, always seeking to learn more about people, and the places on this Earth.

PHILOSOPHY

I love hearing different opinions and viewpoints on life. Always open for intellectual conversation and self-realization. I believe empathy is the greatest of all traits, because it indicates an understanding of how you would want to be treated by others.

Interests

Film- I am a HUGE film buff.

Music- I enjoy music of all kinds, particularly old rock n' roll. My late dad really got me into classic rock, so I am always spinning old records on my turntable. I also self-taught myself to play guitar, so that's fun.

Photography- I shoot mostly on 35mm.

Fitness - I enjoy working out, and try to keep it a regular part of my week!

Ancestry - Tracing my family tree back as far as it can go, and adding new relatives to the tree.

And obviously: TRAVEL!
