About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let it Ride!

ABOUT ME

I just finished college with a degree in Philosophy. Played squash throughout, loved it but I had to give up and start trying to run really far. For now I'm working fulltime at a cafe and part time for a nonprof that runs programs for social entrepreneurs. in a few months it'll be off to kazakhstan for peace corps. It's going to be strange. it's gonna be awesome.

I like to laugh and other people who do the same. I love adventure, good conversations, drinking coffee, running, looking at art I know nothing about, the outdoors, reading, and hitting a drum. I also dig pacman and music.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay away from offices.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched my friend mail a pizza box of poop to somebody who screwed us over and stole our bus tickets. Also, the first time I rode a horse was at a full gallop behind the pyramids at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm up for learning everything! especially building things and learning new words. I can share some stories, and maybe I can teach useless knowledge about old dead white guys who called themselves philosophers?
