ABOUT ME

Hello fellow Surfers,

My name is Bryan and I've lived in Florida (USA) all of my life. I've traveled the entire eastern seaboard of the US by car. I'm definately a water child, having been around the ocean all my life. As long as I'm by the ocean, life is alright. I've always loved to travel but only just lsat year was my first time out of the country. My high school buddy and I decided to take a vacation in Spain and we did it the only way we know how, we didn't plan a thing... except for running of the bulls. We had a blast, met some amazing people I will never forget and made memories that will last a lifetime. Needless to say, I caught the bug, the travel bug that is. A month later I found myself climbing Grand Teton in Wyoming! My traveling is just getting started and I can't ever see it ending.

PHILOSOPHY

Im more afraid of not living than I am of dying. If I wake up every day and do exactly the same thing every day then how full is my life really? I need constant motion and growth in my life filled with emotion. I need to look back and be able to say, "Shit, that was a hell of a trip."

Interests

Most of my time is spent in, on, or under the water. I surf, wakeboard, swim, I'm always on a boat (I'm in the US Coast Guard) and I just got Scuba certified. So if you can't find me on the water I'm probably diving a wreck. When I'm not on the water, I'm either running, at crossfit, playing a bit of guitar and/or of course playing with my kids. I also love photography. I got my first SLR when I was 13 and have been perfecting my skill ever since.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a movie buff! Name it and I've probably seen it. I love music and need it like I need air. I tend to listen to my music loud and I usually sing along. Even though I'm not that great of a singer. I dabble in the guitar, and piano. I write, a lot, mostly lyrics and poetry, and recreational writing. One day Ill write a book. I don't do as much reading as I should. However I do enjoy literature that takes me away; Harry Potter, anything Hemingway and Poe. I also read scripts for fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I saw New York City, it took my breath away. It's something that can't be explained with words, it has to be experienced. Running with the bulls last year in Pamplona, made me realize I don't live enough. Meaning that I was comfortable with going through the motions of my everyday existence. The bulls changed my life, I'm more afraid of not living than I am of dying. And finally, the Grand Tetons, like New York, the Tetons have a beauty that can't be explained with words.From the moment you step off the plane you constantly ask yourself how something this magnificent could be real. I know thats three things but I had to share.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im not a 4-star chef, but I do enjoy cooking. Im also a runner and Ive trained plenty of people how to run better. I know a lot about the outdoors and the ocean. And photography is my true passion.
