ABOUT ME

I recently moved back home to Omaha, and I am very happy to be here. I am also very happy to leave when the opportunity presents itself. I travel a lot for work, and I travel for fun.

I'm not a big fan of talking about myself, so I will revisit this section as other stuff comes to mind. For this reason I very much value the references others have left for me. Please read through them...I appear to be a pretty swell guy ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe integrity is the most important personal characteristic. Without it, all other values or traits become watered down. Because of my faith, I believe that everything happens for a reason. Each of us should appreciate every life experience for its true value. Whether painful or invigorating, there is so much to be learned from ourselves and each other. I like people that think differently than I do, and I like to listen.

Music: Led Zeppelin, Yo-Yo-Ma, Dandy Warhols, Danny Gatton, Jim Croce, Silvertide, Fiona Apple, Luciano Pavarotti, and most recently: funky stuff.
