CURRENT MISSION

To discover a world that I have yet to see, hear, or taste.

ABOUT ME

I am 6'3" w/ brown hair, green eyes, and a size 13 shoe. I can play guitar and bass giutar with confidence, piano and drums with a little less. I am deaf in one ear. My favorite sense is taste with sound as a close second. I am left handed. I love my family. I love heights but not roller coasters. I talk too much when I'm excited about a subject in discussion, but I'm working on it. I love a good debate. My favorite sports to watch: Baseball, basketball, soccer. My favorite sports to play; basketball, disc golf, ping pong. I love teaching senior citizens about the internet. I love juice, but my favorites have at least one fruit in it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, the world is large, and to not live inside of it doing what makes you happy is wasteful. If I can surround myself with love and give as much as I can, I think my world will be a better place for it. When there is no love to be found, I pledge to use my head and not my fists. While I have ideas and I have beliefs, I will always want to hear yours. It is always better to make friends.

Interests

Music: playing, discussing, writing, sharing, and listening to in every location.
I have a new found interest in reading ever since I got to China. School can kill that sometimes.
Finding less boring ways to exercise.
Wood working: cabinets, tables...whatever. The more useful the better.

Teach, Learn, Share
