CURRENT MISSION

The purpose of work: pay the bills, fund my hobbies, and travel! The purpose of life: love, laugh, gain and share knowledge.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small sounthern Indiana town, and now I'm about to graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I'm attempting to complete a minor in Creative Writing, but fear that I will fall a few credits short.I enjoy reading and writing poetry, but find that I have little time for either while trying to finish up mechanical engineering.

When I graduate, I will be taking a job that I'm only moderately interested in, in return for adequate pay and plenty of time off. The thought is that I will have the time to travel and the money to do it. I hope I get to test this soon. I'm hoping to start in Ireland.

I am an audiophile. There is nothing better than listening to vinyl records in the dark with studio headphones or a good surround system. The sound is SO much better. I dabble with several musical instruments including: piano, mandolin, guitar, ukulele.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to think that I know a little about a lot. I might be able to teach you a little about several things. I hope you can teach my a lot about at least one thing.
