Recent graduate from Elon University, taking time to research and plan out the foundation of my first large scale startup. Currently traveling via overland on an expedition through Central & South America for the next year and a half. This trip is aimed towards business, adventure, and philanthropy.

My best friends are those from boarding school and come from quite literally all over the world and from incredibly different backgrounds. Having the opportunity to meet such great people as I grew up gave me an appreciation and desire to continue expanding my view of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people, form a bigger social network, and explore the places you all know better than I may ever get to!

"Seek greatness by surrounding yourself with those who are great."

Music, Movies, and Books

Soundcloud for discovering artists, Spotify for enjoying the ones I know.
Currently reading: The Cargo Ship Diaries

Looking to learn more about art and music as most of cultural education has been on film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Put myself through private boarding schools via scholarship.

Teach, Learn, Share

Been able to pick up a number of skills including carpentry, painting, welding, electronic repair, and a couple other odds and ends that help when I need to repair just about anything.

I'm always up for learning knew info, in fact it's my core pursuit in life. Museums are a favorite, but people tell better stories.

Since I was 10 almost every environmental topic has been of interest to the point of reading research papers for fun (yea, just a bit nerdy), with renewable energy being the primary. I'm fairly heavily educated on energy, industry, agriculture, the environment, and how the little pieces of each fit together. That being said there is always more to learn and I'm working on a film project in regards to how we perceive the environment, our place in it, and responsibility for future impacts.

That being said, I haven't learned nearly enough about art, music, and other culture outside of tech and industry.
