    I'd like to film conversations with older people. Many seemingly ordinary folks have led incredible lives and nobody would ever know otherwise. The times I get to talk with them are some of the most enjoyable conversations. They have lived through so much and are incredibly open minded and accepting of other people. They seem to love to connect with younger people and I think talking with younger people gives them a good feeling. We need to chronicle their stories while we still can.

About Me

I'm one of the most capable people you will ever meet. I don't claim to know everything, but I still know quite a lot and I know how to get things done.

I consider it a waste if I don't learn something from everything I do. I am fascinated by just about everything from Art to Artillery. My wide range and perhaps slightly odd range of knowledge gives me the ability to work in any field. That's why I wanted to get into journalism and PR, because it will allow me to engage in so many interesting topics.

I don't like resumes. There is more to me than a few lines listing where I went to school and worked. It is my belief that if I were able to talk to someone, rather than forced to submit an online resume, I could have nearly any job available.

Also I am selfless and will sacrifice my own gains in order to stand for integrity and ethics. I don't want to get ahead by doing anything that will weigh heavily on my conscience.
