CURRENT MISSION

live and learn.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded, easy going American that loves to learn almost as much as I love people. I am humbled by my lack of language skills, but I am fascinated by other cultures and histories.

PHILOSOPHY

I choose my attitude. Which is almost always positive.
