About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do whatever it takes to live life to the fullest and make great friends along the way

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going and considerate person, always looking for an adventure. I love meeting new people and trying new things. I enjoy all kinds of outdoors fun, music, art, and great conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

This is constantly evolving, but I believe its important to make every effort to live in good faith, test the limits of one's possibilities, and take full responsibility for one's actions and destiny. Basically be honest with oneself and others, and live life to the fullest!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Setting up camp on the side of a river in a storm
2. Ice climbing in Vermont, thinking I can't make it and then proving myself wrong (with a little help from my friends)
3. Watching the sunset in the desert
4. Wandering through a communal farm in Israel and picking ripe oranges and grapefruits right off the ground... subsequently running from Bees when we realized what those boxes were for...
