CURRENT MISSION

Read, write, row, ride

ABOUT ME

Howdy. I am a 21 year old University student from Colorado. I grew up reading and playing in the mountains. This led to passion for skiing, hiking, traveling and reading/writing philosophy. I will be studying in Cape Town South Africa the first semester of 2009. Before I go to S Africa I will take a trip bicycling through Israel. I row for my university, and my life plans are to row, read and remain active. I want to see the world, but I will always return to the paradise that is Boulder Colorado.

PHILOSOPHY

Viva la Road Bike!
