About Me

Iâ€™m a 20-something guy who loves life and all itâ€™s curveballs. My interests are God, People, Music, and Computers. Iâ€™ve lived most of my life on the West Coast in California, and no Iâ€™ve never surfed. Thereâ€™s a lot more to California than just its beaches, though those are quite beautiful.

Chicago is my second home, and so Iâ€™ve moved back there after first living there for over a year a couple years ago. Iâ€™ve traveled to Italy and found I enjoy world travel: it really opens your eyes to seeing history and different world perspectives up close and personal.
