CURRENT MISSION

To hit the open road and start an adventure.

ABOUT ME

I am not my problems. I am not my age. I am not my paycheck. However, I am - outspoken, passionate, liberal, free, intelligent, laid-back, a good friend, a good cook, a fan of a good Cabernet, an avid reader, a journalist, a writer, a musician, a friend, a brother, a son, alive. I'm hoping to travel the country, very soon, and compile a book of my experiences on the open road, moving from couch to couch.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all careening down the one way road of life, towards our fate, from point A to point B, and even though we all arrive at our destination at different times, we all owe one death. Whether we live 25, 30 or 100 years on this earth, in 1,000 years we'll all be gone and it won't matter how long we were here, only that during our time on Earth, we not only lived, but were alive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year in AmeriCorps, I've run a small weekly newspaper in my hometown, I've fought forest fires, I've worked as a vet tech in a busy animal hospital, and now I'm ready for my next adventure...

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to know what it's like to be truly free, the way Lewis and Clark must have felt when they reached the West coast.
