CURRENT MISSION

Graduate before the ripe age of 30.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly quiet, easygoing, friendly fellow with a cheerful disposition and a head of continually unkempt hair--a lost cause no worthy comb can solve. I'm a student at a university not far from my house where I greedily devour my literature classes en route to finishing my English Teaching-Secondary Education degree next year. I make ends meet by working in a quaint little library, one of the best jobs I've ever had. I was lucky enough to grow up in Germany where the travel bug first bit me, and am fortunate to have a sister that works for Delta Airlines who helps sustain my unquenchable desire to see new places.
