CURRENT MISSION

To just Be... and enjoy

ABOUT ME

I generally have a positive disposition and am comfortable in my own skin. I love my job and I have a good life. I am very kinetically oriented. I enjoy life through physical activities. I am drawn to adrenaline sports.I feel most alive in snapshot moments. Upside on a wakeboard with the sun glimmering off the water or the nerves in my stomach before a fight in a Jiu Jitsu tournament. I am very much into a healthy lifestyle, eating a lot of raw foods/superfoods, consuming large amounts of water, sleeping well, and exercise just about daily. I am for the most part mild mannerened and conservative, but on ocassion I do like to go out and party. Â I like adventure hence me being on this site. The adventure of traveling is the best. All of your senses soaking in a new world. I am spiritual and prayer is a daily activity. Â Â Like so many others I love music. I try to infuse it into many of my daily activities. My ideal social time is hanging around a camp fire, while drinking beer, and having a laid back good conversation. I love to learn, discover, create, and mostly listen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing thing I have seen and experienced is my son. Watching him as he grows.

I was cop for around six years. Two of those years I was an urban gang cop. I got into fights, car pursuits, foot chases. My partner and I grabbed about 60 guns from Bloods, Crips, and Hoover gang members. We stopped a few drive by shootings pulling over the right cars at the right times. More importantly we attempted to make a difference in gang affected youths lives.

Fighting a structure fire is pretty damn cool too. I love my job.
