My Story

I was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyo., where I learned how to hunt, fish, play sports and mash buttons. After years of formal education and the abandonment of many majors in college, I am now a journalist with a love for newspapers. (Sad, I know.) Now, after cashing in my chips and selling my car, I am spending time exploring China and learning Mandarin. If the United States is still intact upon my return, I hope to begin a new chapter in New York City.
