CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as possible. Live a healthy life and be mindful while helping others to see all the beauty that exists in this world and not waste their lives as a cog in the machine.

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in experiencing as much as possible and seeing as much of the world as I can. Love to read, backpack, camp. Interested in many things, always adding more to the list. Music is very important to me and I enjoy a wide variety.

PHILOSOPHY

Pursuit of happiness and knowledge is the closest thing to a purpose that I can come up with. Live life in the moment and experience as much of it as you can. We all share the same energy as it passes from one form to another. Peoples are not as different as some would like us to believe
