About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking connections for a presidential run in 2016. :)

ABOUT ME

Clean, somewhat intelligent, shy. I'm a quiet guy, not into partying. i enjoy quality conversation and will admit when i know nothing about a topic. i am also quick to remedy that. somewhat of a wilderness freak. i defintely don't know everything about it, but i love it.

PHILOSOPHY

we have some huge problems in our society. we need to start trusting one another, and doing our part to ensure a home* for future generations. it's time to start acting like we care.

*- a home is more than just a place to shelter. we need to leave this place better than we found it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The people of Attaforme in Niger. i spent most of a week out in the bush with these villagers. they are incredible. compared to western or modern civilization these people have nothing. no running water, no electricity, no medicare, no AC.

all they have is each other, and i've never seen a happier bunch of people than they.. all smiles and laughter. it was incredible to see them share what little they had. i consider a blessing to have met them.
