CURRENT MISSION

release dogma, embrace the random, and smile*

ABOUT ME

I'm just another fella, living the dream. I hope to inspire and be inspired... learning as i go, with friends by my side.

PHILOSOPHY

respect, love, honesty, humility, patience, gratitude, humor... (I'm working on compassion)
embrace unknowing, open mind, and breath deep...
focus on the tasks at hand with the awareness that it's parts are infinite and therefore only limited by your perceptions rather than its true self...
now who wants a hug?!
