CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as I can in my lifetime

ABOUT ME

Happily married for the past 3 years, and soon to be father! Originally from Oregon, I love the outdoors, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, and traveling. I have a passion for music and am always looking to find new bands and artists. I also LOVE good beer (but any beer will do in a pinch), and perhaps if you're lucky I'll have some of my own brew ready to share with you!

PHILOSOPHY

Pay it forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in Hawaii I went on a night dive and got to sit on the bottom of the ocean floor as 2 huge manta rays swooped over top of my head!

I also spent 3 months in Uganda volunteering at a clinic. A fellow volunteer and I went to one of the National Parks and got to see wild Mountain Gorillas, in the flesh, like 5 feet away from us....Experience of a lifetime!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you can see, then you can draw art. If you can speak, then you can write poetry. If you can listen, then you can make music.
