I am 18 years old and live in Wooster, Ohio (literally the heart of the United States). I am graduating from Wooster High School in June, and leaving for Bangkok, Thailand in August. I am going to live somewhere in Bangkok for a year, thanks to the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. I chose Thailand because I believe that there will be much to learn from their religion , language, and culture; a chance of a lifetime. I will be spending the summer fund raising for this trip.

Upon my return I plan on attending Ithaca College, and majoring in film production. I want to be a screen play writer, director, and professional sky diver. I want to start my own business so that I can travel the world.

I am a multi media artist. I paint, draw, write, make t-shirts (screen printing and airbrush), photography (digital and old school), sculpt, film and various other arts and crafts. I am an avid fan of surrealism and the surrealists: Goya, Miro, ect. Much of my work is encrypted with a message and emotion correlating to the problems of our society. If you need any form of art done I am the one to come to!

I love the outdoors! Hiking, canoing, camping, trail running, mountain biking, rock climbing, parkour, and berry picking; I was born in the wrong century. I also play conventional sports: soccer (2007 All-Ohio),  Ice Hockey, and Lacrosse. I like the community and competition of these, but prefer the independence and lack of structure found in outdoors sports.

I am interested in human anatomy, ecology and the environment, new languages, new foods, new everything, the world, lucid dreaming, film
