ABOUT ME

How can you ever sum yourself up? I guess I would say I'm a curious and outgoing person, who's relatively opinionated but very open minded and non-judgmental. My favorite nights would include beer, close friends, and easy conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Learning and Loving.

Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire touches pretty nicely on some life philosophies.

Interests

Sailing, painting, movies, art, drawing, graphic novels, people watching, people talking, and (of course) traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To name two cool things I've done/seen:

I bungee-jumped in South Africa off of the highest commercial bridge. 7-second free fall. That was pretty awesome.

And, equally thrilling, I saw a lion eat an impala about 10 feet away from me at the Chobe National Park in Botsawana.
