CURRENT MISSION

To live forever, or die in the attempt

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the green mountains of Vermont, but my home is anywhere I make it. I've got a bad case of the wanderlust, which makes my job ideal because the army sees fit to move me every year or so. When off duty, I'm almost always outside. Running, backpacking, snowboarding, mountain biking, riding my motorcycle, or just drinking a beer in the backyard is my ideal way to spend time. I'm prone to spontaneous travel, and look for an adventure every weekend. When not moving, I'm reading or catching up on sleep. I'm always ready for a good time, and occasionally make bad decisions in the name of excitement.

PHILOSOPHY

"€œA master at the art of living makes no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues with excellence what he is about and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. He himself knows he is always doing both."
-Wilferd A. Peterson
