About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Well

ABOUT ME

grew up on an island on the South Carolina coast, moved to Charleston for college -- majored in Religious Studies with a focus in Tibetan Buddhism and also Computer Science, after college I moved to New Zealand and worked on and off in Auckland while backpacking the country, South East Asia, Europe and all over :)

I've sailed across the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, lived in a remote African village and have all kinds of traveling stories.

While backpacking fell in love with sailing and Lara -- two things that still dominate most of my time! When I came back to the States, I restored an old sailboat, moved aboard and cruised the east coast of the USA and the Bahamas, currently living in Savannah trying to get my boat sold so I can buy a bigger one to take crew along!

PHILOSOPHY

people are people are people -- which is a good thing
