About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurer and enjoy meeting travelers and people while I am traveling. I have sailed under many lucky stars in my life. I live in a beautiful place and have a wonderful most-perfect-for-my-life dog named Bear.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let others live. My success is defined by owning my time to do with it what I please. I am most delighted by sharing meals with friends, serving my community and spending time in the wilderness.
