CURRENT MISSION

To live prior to dying.

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors, riding horses, and learning about sustainability. I spend a lot of time playing with video, painting and discussing with friends. I can be introverted, slightly moody, a bit of a dreamer, but mostly calm and analytical. Currently, I have a growing passion for documentary film making and learning about sustainable living.

PHILOSOPHY

"What would you do if you were not afraid?"

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught people to swim, surf and paint.

I would like to learn to sail, climb crazy big mountains and run long distances.

I love the outdoors and would like to meet people who kayak, hike, climb, surf, run, camp, and any other fun things you can do outside.

I should probably learn to spell...I am an awful speller.
