CURRENT MISSION

I am young, half polished, and ambitious in seeking adventure.

ABOUT ME

I am a student of life and knowledge. I seek to enhance the beauty and quality of life for myself and all those around me; yet I am not opposed to breaking heads and shattering egos when the situation demands it. I approach social situations the same way I approach a spitting cobra; with quick thinking, lighting fast reflexes, soothing vocalizations, protective eyewear, and a bottle of anti-venom tucked safely in my pocket.

I think my most impressive skill really is my power of persuasion, my communication skills, my ability to be diplomatic in circumstances where it's called for. I have been told I'm charming in that I tend to have an easy time getting people on my side.

If you are lucky, one day we may travel to unknown lands and learn about new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't argue about religion - I'm more of a karma kind of guy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When returning from Brazil during my last trip abroad I was stuck in rush hour traffic with 20 minutes left to get to the airport. I got out of the car (armed only with my small duffle bag containing cash, passport, and camera) and flagged down a passing motorcycle rider. He had an extra helmet and I had a flight to catch. The rest of the luggage made it back 2 weeks later.
