CURRENT MISSION

Not much of one for mission statements, but I enjoy experiencing the variety of life and enhancing or not limiting the experience of others.

ABOUT ME

I've moved 28 times in approaching 28 years, 12 times to entirely new places, I am addicted to experience, but try to live simply. I think freedom is free.
