About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have a great adventure before the stresses of Business School bear down on me

ABOUT ME

I'm a very laid back guy. I try to make the best of everything that comes my way. It's a philosophy that's worked pretty well for me so far. I love adventures and try to force myself to get out of my comfort zone every once in a while. My favorite trips are the ones that are minimally planned and just kinda choose your own adventure. I'm going to Business School in the fall so this is my unwind time between work and school.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, Learn, Love.
Live. First and foremost, enjoy life. No need to get aggravated, frustrated, or angry at unimportant stuff, cause really...what's the point?
Learn. Be curious. If something seems interesting, learn about it, read about it, discuss it. Everything you learn can be applied to something else which can then be applied to something else. By striving to learn new things, you can expand your world to beyond your wildest dreams, and start to understand what was once incomprehensible.
Love. Last but not least. Its the glue that holds the first two together. Why do the above if you have no one to share it with? I am what some might call a sappy romantic, but I feel that having someone by your side to support you as you support them can turn bad to good, sad to happy. Also, love what you don't understand. Be kind to strangers and understanding of other cultures and the Live and Learn parts will just fall into place.

Following these three simple directive will undoubtedly lead to a life without regret, brimming with happiness and fulfillment
