About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Desire to enrich my life through relationships rooted in adventure

ABOUT ME

I find myself moving to Houston to work for an oil company, having turned down a full time job in New Zealand two days before the BP Horizon oil spill. Regrets? Yes, most definitely. After so many months at sea and years at school, I chose the practical pay off my debt financed education solution. That does not mean I don't have another impulsive life change up my sleeve in the future, and it doesn't mean I don't intend to make this town my playground and impact the world as positively as possible. I enjoy all who treasure this pale blue dot we call Earth.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a buffet: you take what you want, and go back for more.
