CURRENT MISSION

Be not simply good, but good for something.

ABOUT ME

I'm bad ass. It's tattooed on me. My priorities in life include- leaving the world a better place than I found it, bringing some fun to wherever I go, being honest, experiencing as much as I can, learning as much as my brain will hold, and infecting the world with smiles. I'll try anything once and if you've got a story, I'd love to hear it. I've got a few of my own. I'm not very good at keeping my mouth shut, about anything, ever, but I am pretty good at making people laugh. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it hasn't gotten the best of me yet. I forget that I'm not nearly as big as I think I am.

On a day to day basis I sit in an office and try to help low income people who are being evicted. Because this isn't the most lucrative career, I also serve wings and beer on the weekends. When I'm not working, I love to dance, visit dive bars for a non-lite beer with friends, go to shows, learn and experience anything, and smell flowers.

I spent 3 days in New Orleans in January and changed my mind about everything. Five days after I got back to Ohio I applied to Loyola for law school and a month later found out I got in. I fell more in love with that city than any boy I've ever met, so come August 1 I'll be calling NOLA home. I can't wait!

PHILOSOPHY

My self-worth is measured by my positive impact on the world around me. I never make anything but split second decisions and this process has always served me well. I'm convinced that positivity is eventually returned with positivity. Think it, say it, do it, without too much time between these steps. I've never wanted to do anything but devote my life to helping others and appreciating the beauty around us, and I'm pretty sure my purpose here is to love everything as much as I can.

I'm named after Desmond Tutu and he said it pretty well. "My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."

Music, Movies, and Books

love action movies, hate romantic comedies, and I read all the time. If you've read The Little Prince we'll have something to talk about. I'm always looking for recommendations.

I love music and going to shows, rock n roll is where it's at, but honestly, if I can move to it I dig it. My 80g ipod was my wisest financial investment since funding my education.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started college when I was 15 and graduated from OSU with a BA when I was 19. It made my mom proud which made all the hard work worth it.
