About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find an adventure

ABOUT ME

I'm always looking for an adventure. At the moment I am studying the geographic information systems major at Metropolitan State Denver and am enjoying all that Colorado has to offer. I'm a big lover of music. I spend most of my time either listening to whatever music I can get my hands on or playing guitar. Music along with my friends and family have pretty much guided me to where I am today. I have traveled some but I'm always looking for my next adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence * As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with persons * Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story * Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit * If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself * Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans * Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time * Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery * But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism * Be yourself * Especially do not feign affection * Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass * Take kindly to counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth * Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune * But do not stress yourself with imaginings * Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness * Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself * You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here * And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should * Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul * With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world * Be careful * Strive to be happy.

Interests

Since I was 13 my dad used to take me to guitar shops with him and to tell you the truth I despised getting dragged around. I am now incredibly grateful that he did take me to all those shops because it has shaped me as a musician and a person. I love to play the blues and acoustic guitar. I also play rock, classical and some folk music. Besides that i'm into the outdoors. I love long distance running and have been doing it since high school. Just this last November I ran a half marathon and hopefully will run a full marathon this upcoming summer. I also love camping with my friends. I'll pretty much use anything as an excuse to head up to the mountains for a day or two. Other than that I like to spend time with friends and family and live life to the utmost.
