CURRENT MISSION

Explore, learn, and enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I love sailing, adventure, and getting away with being as ridiculous as I can! I'm pretty laid back and I try to seek the most harmonious path possible with my environment.

PHILOSOPHY

If there's a kink in the plans I'll roll with it, if there are new people I'll meet them, and if there are places I haven't been, then I'm going there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing disturbance waves propagate across a thin layer of clouds illuminated by the firey plume of the space shuttle as it just blazed through. It was like watching a pebble dropped in a pond except upside down, miles above the Earth, in what looked like a pool of whispy vapors of cinder.

Teach, Learn, Share

sailing, engineering, appreciation of nature, the bright side of anything
