About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The Search

ABOUT ME

I'm a very open minded person. I enjoy learning and experiencing new things. I have a bachelors degree in geology, and am currently studying German. I enjoy music, reading, movies, rocks, language, biking, and just about anything outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Life should be spent seeking to better yourself, those around you and society as a whole. How best to do this? I don't know. The search is what matters.
