CURRENT MISSION

To travel and learn, and taste some good beer along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25-year-old kid who grew up in Arkansas, USA. I live as an engineering student, but with social skills. I like to learn, teach, and travel, which happen to be my life goals (works out well, eh?). I like to meet new people and enjoy good conversation. I'm extremely easygoing and am entertained by just about anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I like people to follow what makes them happy without infringing upon others' happiness. I live because I feel as though my existence in the world brings with it a type of debt to all other existence to try my hardest to promote happiness. Kind of like flexible utilitarianism.
