About Me

I'm a mindful and awakened soul, traveling the world and disseminating knowledge and experiences. :)

A little bit about me:
I'm a former Eagle Scout, Firefighter, and then subsequent Naval Officer and Nuclear Engineer in the Navy who has gone to school for Electrical Engineering since then. Several years ago I underwent some massive life changes on account of some traumatic experiences, and realized that I didn't want to be stuck doing the same job forever and not engaging in the life experiences that I had longed to do for so many years. So I quit my job and sold almost everything that I had and decided to travel and do the work that I love, meeting awesome people along the route.

To that end, I recently traveled to Miami Beach from Denver so that I could work with Ultra and visit with my brother. I had a phenomenal 2 months there, and made some lifelong friends through Couchsurfers. I next traveled to Las Vegas to attend Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. Since then, I went on a 6 week road trip around the US, traveling from Coast to Coast camping, hiking, visiting National Parks and Forests, and seeing many of the places here in the States that I've been wanting to for a while. I finished my road trip after my best friend flew back to Germany, and moved here to Salt Lake City to begin working again in earnest. I'm currently looking to make new friends here and settle in for a while.

I am enthused to be able to have fun, travel, meet great people, and go to music festivals when time allows.
