CURRENT MISSION

To live and see as much as possible before having to go back to the real world (you know, things like a career, wife, kids, dog, house on a hill with a white picket fence...the usual) because, YOLO!

ABOUT ME

Left the US almost 8 years ago under the guise of "taking a year off to travel". Travelling has been done, but I suppose it has taken longer than originally anticipated. Currently in 'straya, mate.

PHILOSOPHY

Today a friend said something about challenging himself. I think that's a good idea for me too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Old school hip hop is currently in my tape deck. I am also carrying 5 books. I need to read more quickly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a safari in Africa, and we were lucky enough to see not one, but TWO kills! The victims were both gazelles, the first got caught off guard by a lioness, the second taken out by a cheetah. The amazing thing was the two vastly different hunting strategies: the lion opting for stealth, the cheetah relying on its superior speed. That shit was cray.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The first thing I do each morning when I wake up is make my bed. I also love helping in the kitchen. (This doesn't necessarily mean I'm a good cook, but I am a great assistant chef.)
