My Locale Utah
About Me I'm a college student working toward a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Recreation or Political Science. During the summer I work for Low Range Off Road selling parts and accessories for Toyota and Suzuki trucks and SUVs. I try to get into the hills as much as I can whenever I can to sleep in the dirt and look at the stars.
