ABOUT ME

A Renaissance man is a gentleman, athlete, scholar, and a little bit of everything. I strive to be a Renaissance man, a jack of all trades, to be the able to do everything, to make myself a better person. Although I may not be an expert or a specialist in any one thing, there is nothing I wont do.

PHILOSOPHY

Interests

I love traveling, talking, and learning new things. Sometimes I wish I had a filter between my brain and mouth but sometimes it works out for the better. I am an honest, energetic person who loves sports and being active. I am a swimmer and runner primarily but also enjoy tennis and a few others. I also have 15 years experience in Tang Soo Do a form of Korean martial arts.

I also enjoy games of strategy such as chess and Go (baduk). I am also an avid reader and am very interested in photography and have been doing some amateur work for the past couple of years. I hope to take as many pictures as I can during my travels. I would also love to start shooting short skits and videos so would love any ideas!
