About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get from New Haven, CT to Salt Lake City, UT

ABOUT ME

I'm a movie buff, I love food and beer, and there is no state in the country I wouldn't want to hang out in. I've backpacked in Europe, and look forward to returning to Paris, Belgium, and Amsterdam (that last one for none of the reasons you might think). I'd someday like to travel in Asia and Australia.

PHILOSOPHY

Appreciate my circumstances, aspire to improve myself, be a good friend.
