Whatever role I'm in at any given moment, be it: full-time student, RA, freelance graphic designer, greenhorn food-writer, or socio-political researcher, one thing is a constant. The constant is that I prefer to do all those things with Krystin Nicole at my side. She's my best friend and my support network. We're approaching four years of dating and I couldn't be happier.

Quotes:
"In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
