CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a fun-loving guy who loves to be out and with others. I would go out everyday and do something if it were possible, and I would rather be with others than alone. First thing you will probably notice about me...I am crazy about football (soccer). You can find me at a bar or cafe supporting AC Milan, though any game will do. Besides that, I am real passionate about trying new things, eating new foods, learning new languages, and getting a different perspective. Lastly, I am constantly joking and smiling. I can turn anything into a joke and I love to make others smile.

PHILOSOPHY

I always try to have fun, learning from the past and the present. In general, I am against all forms of oppression. If you don't like something, don't do it, but never use your own beliefs to control others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading: "The Master and the Margarita"

Currently listening to: The Tallest Man on Earth and The New Red Hot Chili Peppers bonus tracks

Also, I recommend "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn, and "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn to anyone who asks about a new book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped and hiked for 5 days through the jungles of Peru, culminating at Machu Picchu. The ancient city was beautiful, and the journey through the rivers, jungles, and caves only complemented the final view of the Inca city.

I traveled to New Mexico and toured Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and White Sands. White Sands (where the alien scene from Independence Day was filmed) was stunning. The national park/desert is huge and the sand was completely white. Camping in the deserts as the sun went down was breathtaking and life-changing. I recommend that everyone visit there someday, as I believe it to be one of the most beautiful, yet least known places in the world.
