Trying to never let a smile leave my face, and laugh till I'm wrapped in ecstasy's crazy embrace.

I'm an avid traveler and adventurer, love exploring cities and mountain sides, oceans and deserts. Sharing food with others is my favorite thing. Entrepreneur at heart, always experimenting with new projects and pursuing new things. Current side projects: graphics for fashion design, furniture design. Hobby I continue to put off: standup comedy. Usual hobbies: dancing, live comedy, billiards, basketball, something outdoors.

I've had many jobs and pursued many ideas over the past 10~ years, from DJing to door to door sales, enterprise software sales, trying to raise money for a social media startup, starting my own advertising agency, cryptocurrency marketing, and more.
