About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...The Road Less Taken

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler by choice, an all-American midwest city-boy by nature, and as I see more of the world, those two traits are melding more together...hopefully for the better.

And in the words of Steve Miller:
"I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner...I play my music in the sun...I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker..."

I dream big - and am learning on how to follow through.

PHILOSOPHY

I just read a Paulo Coehlo quote that I love:
"The secret to life is getting knocked down 7 times, and getting up 8."

"If you don't laugh about it, you'll cry about it...so laugh about it."
