CURRENT MISSION

To seek out the best in others.

ABOUT ME

I am an engineer and a photographer/videographer living in Minneapolis, MN. When I'm not working I'm seeing live music (I try to go to at least one show a week), running, or enjoying a weekend with friends. I love trying new foods and drinks, and have a passion for good beer, my friends and I will brew our own on occasion when we have the time! Spending time outdoors, whether it's biking, running, snowshoeing, or just relaxing outside, has always been a must for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Be independent, live freely, and learn from others.

I like to think of myself as objectively opinionated. I have my thoughts on how things should be, but I enjoy hearing the philosophies of others and try to learn as much as I can from other people.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are far too many of each to list. I tend to find commonalities with all people, though. Seriously, there hasn't been a person with whom I couldn't connect with through music, movies, or books.

I love a good discussion about any of these things and can often find myself spending an entire evening having said discussion with someone or a group of people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to witness Spain winning the world cup in 2010 while actually living in Spain. it was without a doubt one of the coolest things I've seen, I don't know if I'll be able to top that for a while.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that I have a lot to offer! I can teach about technology, photography, movies, and music.

I would like to learn anything that a host or guest has to offer, so bring it on, I'm pretty open to new things!
