CURRENT MISSION

Be one of the first people from Kansas to circle the globe, meet new friends, learn, make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in the small state of Kansas. Since then, I've visited my family in the Middle East, studied for a year in Florence, Italy, finished a degree at Pepperdine in Malibu, California and started a career in the world of film. I helped create a feature-length documentary on happiness, literally titled "HAPPY" (thehappymovie.com). We also created a short documentary on The Batmobile just released on the Dark Knight Rises BluRay (check it out!) I've been so thankful to travel the world while releasing the film, but also needed to have my own journey. I'm currently on a trip around the globe with a friend from University. I like to think we are fascinating people with a great outlook on life and would love to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Know thyself. Love thy neighbor. Both best accomplished while traveling.
