CURRENT MISSION

Life Begins at the end of your Comfort Zone

ABOUT ME

I grew up in southern Utah on a sheep ranch. Spent my years growing up in the outdoors, and thus have come to realize how vital being in and exploring the outdoors really is to me. One of my favorite things to do is rock climb...been doing it on and off for about 6 years now. I love Utah...it seems to be centrally located and has just about anything and everything here.

PHILOSOPHY

"The marriage of the soul with nature makes the intelect fruitful, the fruit it bares is imagination."

"The Tao is that which does nothing, yet leaves nothing undone."

"Life Begins at the end of your Comfort Zone."
...
"If you shield the mountainside from the windstorm, you'll never see the carvings."

"Don't die with your music still in you."

"E.G.O. = Edge God Out. Ego wants 2 things: To be right, and to own everything and everyone."
