CURRENT MISSION

Walk complete! Now to make a movie!

ABOUT ME

Born in St Louis but spent most of my life in Pennsylvania. Grew up with 2 brothers and a sister and always enjoyed making them laugh. I did stand-up for the first time my senior year of high school at the annual talent show. It was such an overwhelming experience that I knew I had found my calling. In 2004 I decided that I wanted to walk across America performing along the way. Started walking in 2007 and made it 2,000 miles to Lubbock, Texas before running out of steam/money. Have spent the last 6 years trying to find my way back to the road and in 2013 finally going to return to finish. I'm hoping to make a documentary with all the footage I have accumulated.

PHILOSOPHY

Take care of yourself first but live your life to enrich and improve the lives of others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing compares to long distance walking. Each day is a new adventure with infinite possibilities. In 5 months I walked 2,000 miles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned from my experiences, especially through couchsurfing that there are more good people than bad. It's easy to get scared and dig yourself into a hole but life is much better when you fully embrace the possibilities that others can offer.
