CURRENT MISSION

Just got back in town from the Baja. Looking forward to the boat races!!! Then onward to discover some new beaches.

ABOUT ME

Stuff I like:
Canoeing, being outside, road trips, the ocean, Pacific Coast Highway, photography, gardening, cooking, things I've never done, bonfires, peanut sauce, crocodiles, trailer parks, adrenaline rushes, writing, swapping stories, prank wars, stand up comedy, fireworks, camping, checking for critters under rocks, TED talks, lightning, verbal sparring, places I've never been, finding the joke in anything, doodling.

Stuff I don't like:
Bullshit and being cold (which is redundant, because being cold is bullshit.)

PHILOSOPHY

"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." - Henry Ford

Books - anything by Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Herman Hesse, William S Burroughs, Chuck Thompson. And of course Hitchhiker's Guide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So this one time I made everyone sing their respective country's national anthem at the same time while floating down a crocodile-infested river in a broken boat in Botswana at 2am (because no one remembered to bring paddles.)

Teach, Learn, Share

What are you working on right now? What are you excited about? What gives you energy these days? What are you struggling with? Tell me! Tell everyone what goal you're currently working towards; you never know who might be able to help!

Also, if you're interested in photography, gardening, writing, musical instruments, or telling jokes; then I'm sure we can teach each other something new.
