CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a job in Atlanta!

PHILOSOPHY

"You are not defined by your gender, race, age, or religion, rather its your heart and soul which defines you. All your dreams, values, beliefs, and all the things which you hold to be sacred is what makes you who you are."

"The goal of life
is to make your heartbeat
match the beat of the universe,
to match your nature with Nature."

"If you find who you are
And get rid of what you are not
Then you will find that you aren't
And that you never were."
