About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to help the world understand the value of helping eachother. I am putting this philosophy to practice by helping to build, staff and run a free Medical Clinic in Haiti. Through this process I have helped thousands of North American youth get involved in making and leaving a positive impact on the world they live in.

ABOUT ME

I'm a husband, father, adventurer., and humanitarian. Whether it's daily life with my family and friends, climbing the highest peak in the world or helping a charity develop it's programs and processes... it's all adventure and contribution to me. I love learning and sharing what i learn with those who can benefit from it.

PHILOSOPHY

LIFE is an adventure... Never Stop Exploring.
Getting to the top isn't just about getting there, it's about how I get there, bringing others along for the journey, and making the world a better place in the process.
