CURRENT MISSION

Training for the next five ish line and adding another 50lbs to my bench press.

ABOUT ME

I live on the tropical island of Saipan, which is an awfully long way from Buffalo, NY. I've been lucky to live in such a great place where summer reins eternal.

I'm an athlete, father, husband, adventurer, artist, singer, risk-taker, thrill-seeker, and a boy who will probably never grow up.

PHILOSOPHY

I work so that I may live the life I choose. I like to try anything at least once. I strive to experience those "once in a lifetime" opportunities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped from a plane at 14,000', played for my islands in international soccer matches, run marathons, hosted a concert, organized international triathlons, marched 25miles through the Sahara desert under a full moon, seen the Northern Lights, hosted a talk-radio show, fought a bear (not really), competed in the Cobra Ironman 70.3 and the Kaike triathlon (twice), and never stopped searching for the next adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

After years of thinking I could do just about anything, I think that I've finally found my area of expertise that provides me with a mixture of what I like to do and what my soul demands I do.

I was a reporter for the local news paper and I have covered local and international stories about our islands for off-shore news agencies.

I'll probably always report on the major news items as a stringer for local, regional and international news outlets.

Now I'm the communications guy for the folks who preserve our way of life.
