One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I almost died climbing mount fuji with some friends wearing shorts and a windbreaker not knowing there would be hailstorms and negative temperatures at the top.

I've had many near-death experiences.

Was my city's fastest sprinter for the 70m and 100m

I'm proficient at self-defense and have never lost a fight.

I've piloted a US Navy Frigate by myself and I'm not in the Navy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach financial management skills for free.

I can talk very intelligently about a wide variety of topics from the environment, to the US stock market, personal finance and other random things.

I'd like to learn more about cooking.
