About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create enough passive income so I can travel without having to worry when I have to get back.

ABOUT ME

I'm a well educated responsible person who loves to have fun and laugh (sometimes at myself). I'm very motivated and am successful at the things I do. I can be a little reserved, but it's mostly to keep my foot out of my mouth (haha). I've traveled a lot, love it and want to do more. I find traveling the best adventure. The top places I want to go next are Ireland, Wales, South America, and China. That is after my upcoming trip to Hong Kong and Vietnam. I think SCUBA diving is fantastic... Can't wait to go again! Growing up in the desert kept me from learning till about eight years ago. I enjoy and respect the outdoors, especially; hiking, fishing, motorcycling (dirt and street), snowmobiling, skiing etc. I love music, live and otherwise. I love to read, although I don’t really get much time to do it. I tend to be an analytical person regarding how I do things and my outlook on life. I am a quality person, have a great background, but don't like to be categorized - I find it sad if your life can fit in a box.

I'm very laid back, and an experienced traveler. I am a good person to have around if things get off kilter. I don't get shaken easily, I'm calm, diplomatic, can get along with anyone, great at improvising and have emergency medical training.

If I could explore the world full time, meet new people and do photography I'd have found nirvana. I've got a great circle of friends some new, many life long, but I have the biggest bite from the travel bug. That and resources/priorities to travel usually have me going far flung solo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

800 miles off-road motocrossing down the Baja peninsula in five days. That’s over ten hours of riding per day. Physically challenging and so beautiful. Traveling through so many different zones was incredible. The plant life changes were stunning and some are nowhere else in the world.
