CURRENT MISSION

To thoroughly enjoy every aspect of life.

ABOUT ME

My wife and I recently moved to Colorado from Montana. I have come to love international travel over the last couple of years, and would love to continue that passion. I love spending time outdoors, hiking, backpacking, skiing, climbing, etc. My indoor pursuits mostly involve the guitar, music, books, and some movies/tv shows.

PHILOSOPHY

Stress decreases your life span. I try to take it a bit easier and not get fired up. I apologize for not having a clever quote here.
