Live life to its fullest!! Have fun! Make a difference, don't let challenges stand in your way of success! I am driven, motivated and want to impact lives. That's what I want to do is change lives for the better!I am 24 and went to the University of Portland and majored in business with a focus on Marketing/Management. I started my own basketball camps 3 summers ago. I played two years of college basketball. I am working on a trip to Vietnam where a couple others and I are going to do some work with street children teaching success principles along with english lessons. I love to laugh and have a good time. I can be a complete dork, but as long as I am having fun, I am not worried about much else. I feel sorry for people who are so caught up in worry about what others think or material things. I have to remind myself that things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. Hard sometimes, but life is too short to take too serious, afterall, you will never make it out alive!! I love my friends and those who enrich my life. Hit me up with any questions. Make each day your masterpiece and live life to it's fullest!
I was in Australia fall 2005. It was pretty amazing! Give Peace a Chance!
I was working my dream job with a company called Higher Hoops (www.higherhoops.com). I ran basketball camps and clinics. I loved working with kids and I got to do some business. I am taking a little break from full time work to get my life back pointed where I believe God wants to use me for His good. I also like investing my time in my future. I am excited about being able to impact an amazing number of people. I spent three weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia in the summer of 2006 and loved it.
I try to find the best in everything and everyone and sometimes it is hard. I love learning and thinking about things. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one!! Cheers!
Some of my favorite quotes!
When you've learned that life is what you make it then you know the secret of it all. 1947 play Jazz Singer "Smile at Trouble"
"Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free."
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Success by Ralph Waldo Emerson To laugh often and much To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends To appreciate beauty To find the best in others To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived This is to have succeeded.
"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." James Dean
"Happiness is not having what you want, rather it is wanting what you have."
"The Happiest people don’t have the best of everything--they just make the best of everything."

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you have imagined. ~Henry David Thoreau

"A man who wont die for something is not fit to live." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that making a living isn't the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget the way you made them feel."
Maya Angelou
