CURRENT MISSION

My five year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before...

ABOUT ME

I am all about the outdoors, hiking, climbing, mountaineering, diving and Frisbee. I enjoy good wine and good food, probably a little spoiled in the that regard. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people and new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

What ever works for you is cool with me!
