About

I believe in people, and I think a little help can get anyone a long way. If I can be the help I'm honored, and when I get the help I am the first to say thank you. I grew up in the Mid-West now I find myself in LA and my views haven't really changed that much, but they certainly have expanded. I know I'm in a fortunate position, and I cannot wait to pay my dues any and everywhere. I'm looking for a little more direction and once I graduate with my Master's in the Spring of 2016, I'll be as ready as I'll ever be for what happens next.
