CURRENT MISSION

Constantly challenge myself. Mentally, physically, spiritually, intellectually, etc .. . .

ABOUT ME

A man on a mission to be true to myself and the world around me. Good friends, good food and good times with ample amounts of yoga sprinkled in keep me sane, as I seek to sample all that life has to offer. My two favorite activities are traveling and learning. When I can do both at the same time, even better.

Love the outdoors (skiing, hiking, camping, etc). I have seriously considered living in an Airstream, so I can make adventure a key part of my life. But not sure I want to have to live in trailer parks ;)

PHILOSOPHY

The best piece of advice my dad ever gave me was - "never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Otherwise my philosophy is to constantly live outside of my comfort zone. That is where the magic happens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every experience is amazing if you have the right attitude. A cup of coffee with a friend can be as awe inspiring as hiking the Inca Trail. I have done both and both inspire me.
