About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Swim across the Atlantic then backpack through Europe.

ABOUT ME

Laid back guy who enjoys live shows and music festivals. I like to hike, bike and camp. Strong passion for film, music and design. I love sports. Football and Hockey being my favorite. I can get along with just about anybody and I'm pretty low maintenance. Just want to see more of the world. That's all.

PHILOSOPHY

Big believer in karma. I take one day at a time. Certainly don't take anything too serious. Life is just too ridiculous to not take a step back and laugh at it from time to time. And that includes laughing at yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo backpacked Europe in 2011 for a month. Crawled out to the edge of the Cliffs of Mohr and looked straight down.
