About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission now and always is to just keep keeping on. If an opportunity comes my way I grad it by the horns and ride it out for all it's worth. I love new experiences and meeting new people :) Wont you be my neighbor?

ABOUT ME

- Born in Globe, AZ and lived there till I was almost 12.

- I moved to Grand Rapids, MN at 12 and fell in love with it. MN will always be home to me.

- I lived in Wichita, KS working for Cessna Aircraft until the U.S. economy tanked and I was Laid off. I traveled the world for 14 months and had the time of my life. I'd love to tell you all about it.

- Moved to Seattle to be with family and pursue new passions. Attended commercial dive school and became an official hard hat diver while making some of the best friendships and memories I've ever had.

- Traveled and worked offshore as an ROV pilot. A month at sea and a month on land traveling and visiting friends and family.

- Once again, I am a Minnesota resident. Home sweet Duluth! New house, new job, new beginning.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that people need to put themselves out there as much as possible and live a little. Explore. Face your deepest fears. Be bold. Throw caution to the wind and take a risk once and a while.
