About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Push the limits of my body and step out of my comfort zone to do new things in new places.

ABOUT ME

I AM NOT IN ARKANSAS!!! My IP Address is routed via Conway, Arkansas, but if I'm not traveling, I am definitely in New York :).

I feel you always need to meet a local to really have the full experience. I love taking pictures with my camera. I prefer pictures of people rather than landscapes. Capturing emotion is so much better than just colors and shadows.I love people. My company pays me to teach our new clients and make them more comfortable with us. My job is to meet new people and travel, so I love my job right now.I play a lot of volleyball. My weeks are often busy with work, teaching, sports, and going out with friends. When I travel, I try to go out of my normal boundaries.I like to stay home and watch movies. I like to go out and party. I like to go to the park and listen to music. I like to sit in my room and play my guitar. I like to drink wine in a classy lounge. I like to drink beer in the cheapest looking bars. I like all music. I like hats. I like to like things.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat food, drink liquids, sleep, wake up, do things (not particularly in that order).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I meet someone new in an awesome place it's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that you can't hum while holding your nose?

I've been told I make good guacamole and spinach quesadillas and I'm willing to share recipes :).

I can also teach you a few small magic tricks.

I know Japanese and I make good omelets for breakfast.

I teach math to secondary school students in the evenings, but I don't think most hosts or surfers are looking for a math lesson. :) Anyway, just in case, I teach levels of math through Calculus and am really strong in Physics with pretty strong knowledge in Chemistry as well.
