About Me

Im 25 and going back to school after 4 years off. I spent that time working and living my father's import business. I realized that my degreeless (is that a word?) self was just not living up to its full potential. So, Im on a mission to succeed in my studies, learn more about the world, and hopefully find a decent job that I love.Im Culturally diverse, appreciate nature, admire the business world, enjoy politics, envy intellectuals and lastly love my family.In this journey called life, my defining moment was being fortuanate enough to travel to China. Witnessing a nation so rich in tradition and culture and on the brink of becomming the second superpower was so amazing.
