About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to see the world, learn another language or two, improve my skill as an artist and designer, and avoid sitting in a cubicle under flourescent lighting

ABOUT ME

I am just a 25 year old dude. I love my family and I want to design theme park rides one day. I love drawing, painting, Photoshop, welding, carpentry, and sculpting. I also love camping, hiking, cliff diving, the ocean, and I have been skydiving. I worked in Disney World for a few months to earn college credit which was amazing. I have been all over Europe and hope to see the entire world. I really want to learn to surf and scuba dive or anything anyone else is willing to teach me. I am Catholic and my faith is very important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

I am Catholic, but I am kind of a Catholic hippie. "Why can't we all just love each other, man?"

Music, Movies, and Books

Top three movies for sheer ridiculous adventure:
1. Jurassic Park
2. Pirates of the Caribbean
3. The Mummy

As far as music goes I like indie rock like Modest Mouse, The Shins(from Albuquerque) and the White Stripes. Mostly though I like instrumental soundtracks From movies.

I like classic adventure books like the ones by H.G.Wells and Robert Louis Stevenson. I am also getting into christian philosophers like C.S. Lewis

My favorite TV show is LOST!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to answer just one. One of the best memories I have in my life so far is of sitting with some Australian friends on a cliff in overlooking the ocean in Greece and watching the sunset. It just made me feel very happy that I was born.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach handicrafts like basic woodworking and welding. I want to learn how to do these things better as well. I can teach drawing, painting, etc. I really want to learn to surf and scuba dive. I love talking about theme parks and theme park history.
