Objectives
Peace Corps
I am currently in Mongolia as a Peace Corps Volunteer helping to
provide health care assistance, education, and community development,
deepen international understanding of the American people, and deepen
my personal understanding of the world’s people.
Advance Humanity
My continuing objective remains helping
others through service. This includes loving my family and friends,
caring for my
neighbors in all of the world and treating others how I
would like to be treated. In that way I hope to always be advancing
humanity to the best of my ability.

Interests
I enjoy writing down
my thoughts, keeping up with my friends through
crazy adventures, working on fun projects, doggy paddling in small pools, listening to great music, not forgetting milk at
the grocery store, being a big brother to my brother and sister, opening doors for ladies, having long
philosophical talks, eating super kontiks, finishing my homework, thinking about the universe, making movies, taking pictures, reading good
books, laughing through Calvin and Hobbes, watching Lost, writing books, developing my resume, making oatmeal
cookies, getting better at meditating, staying focused on my objectives, eating pancakes, saying "Snap" and "Jank", organizing world peace initiatives and otherwise advancing humanity.
