CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel the world. I was recently laid off due to the bad economy in the USA. Instead of jumping directly back to work I have decided to travel the world. I was given lemons and now I am making lemondaide.

ABOUT ME

I was recently laid off in the USA so I have decided to travel instead of jumping right back in the workforce. I packed up my apartment and put all of my stuff in a storage unit back in the states. The economy is bad so I am waiting for the right opportunity. I took a 30 day road trip across the Northwest USA to camp, hike, mountain bike, and rock climb. It was an awesome experience! I have been living in Roma with family I have here learning the language and enjoying Italy. It is now time for me to explore the rest of Europe and the world. I am truly excited about the upcoming adventures ahead!

PHILOSOPHY

"Fortune favors the brave"

"People say I am lucky...I consider myself opportunistic"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling across the USA for 30 days with a buddy of mine in a truck to rock climb, mountain bike, hike, and camp. One part of the journey that sticks out. I summitted a mountain in The Grand Tetons with a good friend of mine. We completed 35 miles in two days encountering 2 grizzly bears within 10 feet of us, traversing across snow covered peaks, navigating our way to safety, making lifesaving decisions, overcoming injuries, and making it out in one piece. It was an amazing journey and totally worth it.

Getting laid off and moving to Italy has been one of the more amazing experiences in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning is one of my favorite things to do. I love to learn about different people, places, things.

Hopefully people can learn from me and my experiences. I do have lots of knowledge that I am willing to share.
