Summary

After overcoming a long bout of depression, every ounce of my being is invested in making something of myself. I intend on taking advantage of as many opportunities as I can handle to not only grow my reputation with others, but to improve my perception of myself. I am passionate about creating through written word and environmental action, which for me both fuel each other.
