CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to fill my life's book with amazing stories, wonderful people, exotic places and beautiful memories; please contribute to this ongoing effort and I'll try and do the same!

ABOUT ME

I'm married to a beautiful girl from the islands and we have a 13 year old son and a 10 year old girl. My family is everything to me and my reason for living.

I love playing music and used to front an expat rock band when I lived in Micronesia :-)

I love to travel and meet new people, explore, and try new things.

I love to cook and love good food.

I'm low maintenance.

I can catch, kill, clean, and cook my own food.

Don't require utensils to eat.

Don't need a bed to sleep - the floor is fine.

Don't mind crowds or small quarters; Don't mind being alone or open spaces either.

Don't need much to be happy.

I served for 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer (2004-2006) in the outer islands of Yap (Ulithi Atoll) and lived in a thatched hut with no electricity or running water and loved every minute. I lived on Yap proper until 2019 working a variety of jobs. I was married to an island girl and had 2 beautiful children on the island. We moved back to the US and have lived in Oklahoma since then. I work in tech sales and sell mainly to luxury resort hotels, so one of the perks of the job is I get to travel a lot and see some amazing places and meet some amazing people!

PHILOSOPHY

Be Respectful.
Be Humble.
Be Kind.
