ABOUT ME

26 and living in Boone, NC. Learning how to build musical instruments in a woodshop. Ready to become a journalist in South Africa during the World Cup. I enjoy playing the mandolin with friends. Spending to much time at the Bars here in Boone. After college, its easy to get stuck in this awesome town, but I'm eager to get out and see what the world as to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played catch with an Orangatan at a zoo in the Netherlands. I tossed a rock lightly by his feet and he tossed it back. We played like this for 10 minutes til my mom yelled, "Time to go."
