About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat delicious food all over the world with cool people.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty laid back and open minded. I strive to just have a good time whether or not things are looking good.

I love nerding out about cars, bicycles (road), coffee brewing and roasting.

I love wandering around seeing whatever I end up seeing and of course eating delicious things.

PHILOSOPHY

It is what it is

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some friends and I decided to ride to breakfast at 2am on our bicycles, the ride was 100 miles long.

Beng Mealea (near Angkor Wat), the coolest temple ruins I've ever seen.

SCUBA diving at Sail Rock, Thailand. This was pretty much a scene straight out of a national geographic magazine, we floated over a giant dropoff for a few minutes watching ridiculously large tornadoes of fish whizz by one another, truly spectacular :)
