CURRENT MISSION

Maximize the meeting of kickass individuals

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty laid back. I like to lay in hammocks, to explore the great outdoors, to camp, to read a good book, to write a good poem, to paint, to cook a healthy meal.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all responsible for the lives we lead, lives driven by certain choices that we make. Though the fear of failure may loom at every corner, make your decisions, do what you do, and deal with life as it comes at you. Choose contentment! And "Become who you are."
