CURRENT MISSION

To sit on park benches all over the world; staying static while the world changes

ABOUT ME

I am a current college student in the arctic tundra of Minnesota, originally from New York. I have been playing drums since I was 6 and spend a lot of time playing in bands and hearing/ seeing music. I also study History and American Studies and am fascinated by how people in the present use the past to manipulate events. I love cities; both exploring them (preferably by bike!) and learning their history. Someday I would love to teach high school history!
Travel is all I really want to do and in my dream world, I would be playing music all over the world by night, riding bikes by day!

PHILOSOPHY

Can I kick it? Yes you can!
