About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surviving Veterinary School/ Travel before school starts again

ABOUT ME

I'm a Michigan native. Spent my life around lakes, streams, and rivers to fly-fish, then traveled to Montana and Wyoming's Mountains to catch nice fish, bc frankly, Michigan fishing sucks. I've spent my life as a student, and im not thru it yet. Im an aspiring veterinarian, currently in veterinary school. I enjoy traveling, recently got back from Europe. I love the outdoors and animals. period. Thats my life in a 4x6" space.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too damn short, and each day was meant to be spent outside/traveling/living with a smile.

Teach, Learn, Share

It takes 5.6 seconds for anyone to make/get an impression regardless of the task at hand. Don't stutter, spit, or flounder. Give a good handshake.
