“To always learn, to always challenge myself and others. My goal is to be the best version of myself, to encourage that within others, and to be able to enjoy watching my son become a wonderful young man. Personally, I would love to be able to impart my understanding of the boundless possibilities in our lives- that we don’t have to confine ourselves to socially constructed ideals- we can live with mindfulness, and sincerity and allow the positive energy to flow into every aspect of our existence”
