Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is to explore new countries and cultures around the world. I love to meet great people along the way and share our experiences!
ABOUT ME
I'm an easygoing tech type that loves music, creativity, outdoors, sports, and of course traveling :). I grew up in New Jersey, USA and spent most my educational and working years there as well. I love traveling, and in 2012 finally set out to backpack South America. Since then I've relocated to the west coast and am currently enjoying the Bay Area!
PHILOSOPHY
Seek out perspective. Enjoy your life and be grateful. Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Music, Movies, and Books
Grew up on grunge rock and 90's pop rock. Love all sorts of music for all different reasons :)
I love shooting and cutting videos of my own and taking creative photos. Epic fantasy/scifi movies are my favorite!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Quit my job and backpacked across South America. Gazed over a beautiful, empty Machu Picchu. Saw Lonesome George before the loneliness finally got the best of him. Froze my ass off watching the sunrise over the Uyuni Salt Flats. Got a lovely T-Shirt for barreling down Bolivia's Death Road. Watched the sun set above the clouds from Mount Haleakala. Lost all sense of time lazing away on Caye Caulker. Drove across the states in a really sketch van named, "Black Betty"!
Teach, Learn, Share
Guitar, music, creativity, humor, some tech knowledge, silly random skills that aren't if any real use :). I'm in no way an expert, but I love teaching basics and getting people off the ground.
In the same right, I love to learn more from other musicians, and new arts and skills!
