About Me

I’m your average midwestern youth (was born and raised in the small town of Maryville in NW Missouri) with unique expectations, hopes, and dreams that extend across the globe. As a college student I do my best to live a fund healthy life style while keeping myself busy with activities that allow myself to learn and grow.

This fall I’ll be returning to Granada, Spain where I’ve studied for the last five months. When this adventure is complete I’ll pick up where I left off at Drury University in Springfield, MO. I expect to graduate in the spring of 2010 with a double major in Computer Information Systems and Spanish and a double minor in Philosophy and Global Studies.

To learn more about me you can reference my facebook profile. Also, the ”My Resources” column on the lower left hand side gives a snapshot of the type of information on which I focus my thoughts. I probably spend most of my time reading and listening to reports from NPR. It is an understatement to say that I love soccer. I also enjoy utilizing technology. Politics are often on my mind as well as an occasional reflection on life itself. I enjoy meeting new people and engaging in discussion and/or polite debate.
