My mission in life is to Love God and Love Others. While seemingly simple, it's a challenge considering the diversity of cultures, personalities, opinions, and priorities. I believe each person holds a unique definition of what they require and what love means to them. I yearn for genuine, candid and honest conversations, realizing life is not about me and emphasizing the significance of authentic human connections. I believe in the importance of hard physical work and embracing new experiences. A successful life for me would be one where I live simply, laugh more, am present with people and in situations, embrace boredom and solitude at times, and do uncomfortable, hard things because that’s when the good stuff happens.
