CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life while learning new skills / languages and meeting fun people!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going, fun-loving, generally funny dude. I am passionate and have interests in many things, but I still like to find time and enjoy the current moment.

I just completed a bike tour from Omaha to Portland to San Francisco, and am now moving to Spain to teach English for the year.

PHILOSOPHY

1."Drink 'em if ya got 'em."

2."The best things in life aren't things."

3."Know more about the world today than you knew yesterday."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At Lollapalooza a few years ago Radiohead was playing... amazing yes... but at the same time, somewhere else in Chicago, there was a massive fireworks display. This display just so happened to be directly behind the stage, and, for ten seconds or so, the explosions were in-time with the music. It was radical... man.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to juggle or play some guitar/piano.

I'd love to learn anything. I'm always trying to learn -- be it a new skill, language, or interesting information.
