Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
living life to its fullest in beautiful Denver, Colorado
ABOUT ME
I love to try new things, eat new foods, see new sights, and speak new languages. I'm looking to expand my global horizons and stockpile priceless food memories.
I think I am destined to work in restaurants as my job at Vine Street Pub has reaffirmed that. I can enjoy both nights out and nights in with my wife and our pug Remy. I have a love of collecting records...there is no better way to listen to good music.
PHILOSOPHY
you cant help who you were, but you certainly can help who you are and will be. make the best of life and make sure to love the small things.
