I value personal, societal accomplishment and advancement. I want more for all people, by extension that means I want more out of most individuals, especially myself. I do not expect help but reach out for it when it can save time, effort or pain. The idea of living for one’s self is a fallacy to me, one that nations and companies continually prove is invalid. I enjoy helping others when and where I can but have had to learn to not expose myself to risk in doing so.

I have a genuine love of ideas and value originality, creativity, and imagination. I see the improvement of one’s mind as a foundationally important and worthy goal. Thus, I consistently seek opportunities to learn new things and improve my mind. The value of an intellectual challenge, depth of thought, and insight can be immeasurable. Thus my interests included humanistic, enlightenment and novel ideas, and I place great value on artistic and cultural endeavors.

To balance all of this I believe in nurturing relationships with my family, friends and community. I find my peace in this balance as these connections keep me grounded to whom I intend to be.
