About Me

Basically there are a few things that I look to get out of life. These include finishing my degree in Anthropology, doing a lot of traveling (funny how the military helps facilitate this), making and keeping really great friends around the world.I suppose that people really do mean the most to me and that I want to help those that I can which my Anthropology degree and the army combined should help me with. Especially if I am able to change to Civil Affairs (humanitarian assistance) eventually.Well other than that I really enjoy doing outdoor activities: running, skiing, hiking, rock climbing, etc. I could probably go on and on here, basically I would much rather do something outside if I can.Well I guess that's a quick rundown... anything else, just ask.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Where do I start?? I love meeting new interesting people... probably why I'm an anthropology major. I love anything outdoors: hiking, swimming, motorcycles, rock climbing, and many other things. Life is just so much more fun when you arn't inside!

Anyone with a good attitude and is fun to be around.
