I am a rare breed. I love life. I am driven. I love setting goals and reaching them. I am fearless. I love learning. I want to speak as many languages as I can learn in a lifetime.
I love so many things. This has made my life both extremely interesting and extremely difficult. I live life as an Epicurean: a true Renaissance Man.
I have bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemistry, and German from the College of Charleston Honors College. While there, I also edited The College yearbook, competed on the club swim and dive team, presided over the college German Club, and acted as Backstage Model Coordinator and trainer for Charleston Fashion Week.
After graduating, I was awarded and completed a post-graduate fellowship in Germany. There I worked with one of Germany’s largest online businesses helping them to expand to the competitive UK market. I also worked with one of Germany’s largest event production companies, International Management Group (IMG), and helped produce three seasons of the world-renowned Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin. Now, I work for Charleston County Parks as an Ocean Rescue First Responder and Operations Manager. I think that there is always room to learn, and I want to understand the things that intimidate me in addition to the things that I love.
The one thing that I try to do more than ANYTHING else is to be myself. I do it everyday, and even though it is hard sometimes, it makes me stronger. I want to be respected by my superiors and my enemies. I believe that true wisdom only comes when you can respect someone else's opinion, even if it is the exact opposite of your own.
