CURRENT MISSION

Embrace life. Love life. Live life.

ABOUT ME

Traveling is one of my greatest passions. I love the rush of finding myself in a new country, completely strange and out of my comfort zone. I enjoy seeing how other cultures and people live, and trying to grasp an understanding of their livestyles, thoughts, and ideas that may be different than my own. All this has contributed to the development of my own world view as it has become a combination of what I've taken and learned from other cultures.

I'm an adrenaline junkie. I'm a frequent snowboarder, skier, wakeboarder, surfer, and I love trying anything else that gets my blood pumping.

I'm always up for a good time, whether it's socializing over drinks, relaxing while playing some poker or not remembering a night out on the town.

PHILOSOPHY

Love Life
Carpe Diem
Hakuna Matata
Momento Mori

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
- George Bernard Shaw

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may
avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live.
– Leo F. Buscaglia

If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.' - Saint Augustine

Some people feel the rain, others just get wet. - Bob Dylan

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy and appreciate all music - except Country music...

It doesn't take much for me to enjoy a good movie, no matter what type. My friends say I'm too easily entertained...

As for books, I read mostly non-fiction literature regarding economics, business, politics, and the humanities. Ayn Rand currently holds my favorite author position.
