I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Learning is a joy. I try to surround myself with people and things that can expand my growth as an individual. My personality is mostly reserved and serious, but don't let that fool ya. I enjoy playing practical jokes and comedy in general. Besides that I love to entertain friends and travel wherever my time and money will allow.
