ABOUT ME

35 Male. Born in Iowa. Then moved to Illinois, Texas, then Minnesota where I spent most of my life. Had a brief stint back in Illinois for college then moved back to MN to start working. Moved to Chicago, Illinois 3 years ago for work. Hoping to make it out to SF for work sometime in the near future.

Have a younger sister who lives in SF. I visit her about 3-4 times a year. In any given year, I also visit Denver and Salt Lake City to visit friends and go snowboarding. I also fly back to MN at least once a month. I've been to 46 of the 50 states in America, the only ones I am missing thus far are: Alaska, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Idaho. So far for outside the US, I've been to Europe (France and England), Asia (Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China), and North America (Canada, Mexico, Belize). Places I'd still love to visit: India, Nepal, Egypt, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico.

I consider myself pretty laid back and easy to get along with. I like to try everything at least once and as long as you're not doing anything harmful to me, you can do whatever you want!

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything at least once.

Do what is right for you, not anybody else. It's amazing how doing what is right for you is also right for everybody else close to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been camping twice in the Kalalau Valley in Kauai. First time, we hiked in, the second time we kayaked. Both trips were AMAZING. It is one of the prettiest places I have ever been to. It is so serene and peaceful there. I plan on doing those trips again soon in the near future.
