As a person I find myself to be remarkably open minded, yet just as hard set in what I believe. I tend to laugh effortlessly and find humor in as many things as possible. I enjoy hanging out with my friends whenever possible, but that has been rather limited since my recent transplant to Chico. I originate from the Silicon Valley, so the transition has been a harsh one. This is where my avid fondness of Skype originates from.

I love exploring new places, or driving just for the sake of going. But I am just as content to chill out in serene environment and talk about everything and nothing, or just listen. For the most part I'm a laid back individual with a stubborn streak. I'm not easily intimidated. I firmly try to think positively in most situations, and believe strongly in negative and positive energy, and how it affects one's balance in the universe.

I have a desire to try a variety of different things, like taking up the guitar, learning to snowboard and skateboard, and join a Kendo dojo. I would love to visit Italy and other parts of Europe. Try living in another state, I adore Seattle. Though, becoming fluent in Japanese, Korean, and Sign Language are at the top of my list.

My constant in life is my five year old Border Collie, who I refer to as my "Baby." He is also learning Japanese.

Though given the opportunity, I really would run off to join the circus!

I'm currently focusing on a BFA in Illustration and dabbling with the idea of taking up Linguistics. My aspirations include, but are not limited to: pursuing an art career, competitive shooting, becoming a nationally known reptile breeder. I would also like to live abroad and eventually work or have my work cross over to Japan. Michael Arias has had a strong influence on me.

I'm not quite how people expect me to be. I'll keep surprising, in a good way.
