About Me

CURRENT MISSION

just L-I-V-I-N

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New Hampshire/Vermont, went to Hobart College, was a ski bum in Colorado for a while, a ski bum in Austria for a while... a regular bum back home for a while... Now I have my first 'real job' in Cambridge. So far so good. I'm pretty layed back and open minded. I have traveled a lot, I am into playing/producing music, like talking about philosophy... I don't know what to say about myself... you will just have to meet me. I get get along well with most people. You should let me sleep on your couch.

PHILOSOPHY

I just try too keep experiencing new things and challenging myself, and always remember that you only live once.
