T.L.E.

I'm an Instigator, not a Regulator. T.LE.

About Me

Born in Vietnam, Raised in Belgium, Future Lawyer/Real Estate Broker, and possibly going back for my MBA sometime in the near future...
I love Snowboarding, so anyone who wants to hit up the local southern california mountains or mammoth, gimme a hola.
I'm a dreamer and a realist. I don't dream of unrealistic propositions.
If I'm blunt to you and you don't like it, then deal with it...
I drink, I don't smoke (not entirely true | insert exception).
I may be quiet, but I love to entertain and be entertained especially with friends.
My friends are dear to me, you mess with them, you mess with me.
My goal: travel all over the world and experience different cultures and ride as many mountains around the world.
"Sometimes you need to test what you believe to be true, just so you can confirm that it's for real."
