I simply love life, but have no idea where it is taking me most of the time. I know I can succeed at overcoming whatever challenge comes my way. There are many times when I get down on myself, but there are tough times in everyone’s life, and we are defined not by those problems, but how we come to face them and triumph over them.

I hold absolutely no political affiliation, although I do fulfill my duties as a citizen by voting. I’m just thinking that both sides are right, and wrong. All politicians (besides Ron Paul) change their minds and say anything to get elected anyways, and if they’re paid to say something or vote a certain way, they do it. That’s not right, but it’s the way it is. That doesn’t mean I don’t change my mind. It means there are good reasons for it if it happens.

I’m a natural leader that knows when to step in and take control, and most importantly, when it’s time to get out of the way and follow. Bottom line, I will get things done, and they will be up to my standards. Other than that I’m just an all around nice guy that loves to have fun. Got a lot of friends, very few enemies. I work hard, but take breaks and relax every now and then to maintain my quota of happiness.

I’m a filmmaker and media producer that graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2012, and throughout my time in college I’ve come to the conclusion that the university hasn’t instructed me on facts, and taught me what to think, but rather, the experience of secondary education has taught me “how” to think, and how to solve problems. It was never about whether those molecules in chemistry make up something cool… it was always about testing to find out what it made, and learning how to process information from the experiences you have. Whether it’s writing, blogging, filmmaking, or simply hanging out with friends and family, no opportunities to do something better should be missed.

I’m an artistic individual that doesn’t like clocking in and out of a nine-to-five job, and believes my skills far surpass half of the people who are making more than him every day. I’ve never quite figured out how to sell myself, and I’m often way under paid for what I do because of it. I’m a worker, and I work hard. Perhaps not as hard as some, I admit, but hard nevertheless.

I believe people should work to have everything they want in life, but that they don’t necessarily have to work all the time in order to get some of them. If two paths lead to exactly the same point, why not choose the easiest? I’m outgoing and fun I believe, and I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family, and without a single doubt the most wonderful girlfriend (now my fiancé) I could have ever dreamed of. There is no way to define just how “complete” I feel with her by my side. I’m trying my best to make her happy, and after visiting her home country of Vietnam in the summer of 2011, I know I’ve found someone truly special, and I’ve learned so much about who she really is because of it. I look forward to spending the rest of my life getting to know her better.

I also enjoy traveling, and blogging about my travels.
