About Me

Our family lives in Greenwood, Indiana and is composed of me, Adam (31), my wife, Courtney (30), and our daughters Millian (7 yrs), Charlie (3.5 yrs), and Hattie (1.5 yrs).

We spent several years traveling for overseas, before we began an RV Tour here around the US. After that we lived in Asheville, NC - Portland, OR - and have finally returned back to Indiana to be closer to family at home.

I'm a blogger/speaker turned product developer for an awesome team of people at Nerd Fitness. I also train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and am learning piano.

Courtney is an elementary teacher (currently 4th grade) at a local school. And has taught in several states and countries during our travels. She loves the outdoors (hikes, kayaking, etc...) and we both enjoy playing board and card games.

Our girls love running around, singing and playing music, jumping on the trampoline, and playing video games whenever we allow it.

We are well past our "party" phase in our life, however we don't shy away from having a great time. We rarely drink, and never smoke or use drugs in any way. We love interesting conversations, all types of strategic board and card games (play games almost every night), scuba diving, outdoor activities, and just chilling with friends. We enjoy all types of music and most other forms of art!

We love learning about new things, people, cultures, ideas, etc... A year ago we began selling all of our things for a "migration to Australia". We did sell everything except two backpacks worth, but we didn't stay put in Australia. We've now traveled to New Zealand and are preparing for an excursion in Thailand. We are passionate about living a debt-free, non-materialistic life! Adam likes the idea of attempting to live aboard a boat, but still has to convince Courtney as neither of them have any boating/sailing experience, haha!

All sorts, really! Adam prefers non-fiction and Courtney prefers fiction books. Both appreciate all types of music from Reggae to Country, and we enjoy most movies, documentaries, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The pregnancy and birth of our daughter, Milligan, is by far the most amazing thing we've been through!
