CURRENT MISSION

Classical Archaeologist

ABOUT ME

Just a guy living out his dreams. I graduated from UCSD with a double major in Classical Studies and Archaeology. Currently working on my Master's in Classical Archaeology at King's College London. I live to travel around the world. I play guitar and make wine and mead (honey wine). I love hiking long distances. It gives me time for inner reflection and time to clear my head without negative societal influences. My dreams will take me where I want to go from here.
