ABOUT ME

I love to travel. I love sports. I love women. I love parties. I am a huge LA sports fan - Lakers and Dodgers baby!!! I have been to 32 countries and plan to make that more very soon. I went to UCLA and graduated with a degree in political science. I was in Phi Kappa Psi fraternity while I was there. Now I live in LA with a friend Peter while I prepare for my next trip through another part of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran with the bulls during San Fermines 2007 in Pamplona, Spain. I made it into the bull fighting ring after the 1st bull, but before the last bull, so I was able to stay in there for the part after the running. They let out 6 baby bulls, 1 at a time, and sheath their horns with leather so they can't pierce and kill anyone, and then they let the bulls run wild in the ring of 500-600 people. I was told that what you try to do is get the bulls attention, then let him run right past you and you hit him on the ass. So I did. Probably the most exhilarating experience of my life.
