Life is the ultimate adventure with an incredible multitude of twists and turns. I wouldn't have it any other way. It keeps me on my toes. One must embrace change, which is one of few certainties. Fearing change is only doing oneself a disservice. If someone would have asked me a year ago what I am going to do with my life I would have given them a completely different answer than I would now.
I would say that I am a down to earth (sometimes in the clouds), chill, fun-loving guy who enjoys life and is curious about EVERYTHING. I am a raging nerd and proud of it. I love people and culture, and I try to stimulate positivity as much as I can wherever I am.
I live in Kane'ohe on the windward side of Oahu. So far, my Hawai'i experience has been anything but dull. I am falling in love with this place even more than I have anticipated. It is by far the best time of my life. I just started at Ruby Tuesdays and will soon be starting studies in Lomi Lomi and Psychology at the University of Hawai'i.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
