CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, experience new cultures and ideas, and meet wonderful people!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Canyon/Amarillo, TX. I also went to college there. I love Texas but I also want to experience the rest of the world. I married my beautiful and amazing wife, Sarah, in July of 2008. Our wedding was a good forecast as to what our lives would/will be like! We both quit our jobs (me banking, her a reporter), we immediately got married in Mexico, honeymooned in another area of Mexico, flew back home, drove to Colorado a day later, then moved to Japan! From quitting our jobs to moving to Japan, this all happened within a 1 month span! After 1 year in Japan, and some amazing travels, we moved to Prague in the Czech Republic. There are very few people, I think, who have had a marriage start like ours! We wouldn't have done it any other way! We are back in our home state of Texas & enjoying our current location. Friends and family mean a whole lot to us and we both look forward to meeting new people and forging new friendships!

PHILOSOPHY
