About Me

ABOUT ME

My wife and I currently live in Washington, DC but will be taking the next 5 months to explore new parts of the world. My heart and passions lie in poverty alleviation and learning to better love the people around me. Most of my travels have taken me to places where I've had the opportunity to learn more about these passions and myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Self-forgetfulness in the presence of Greatness is the solution for complete joy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a full-blown bluegrass addict yet I cant get enough of traditional reggae and international tunes. As for books, there's nothing that keeps my attention like the open road (Jupiters Travels, Kerouac, and the less related Hemmingway)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Married the woman of my dreams...love is the greatest adventure

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel has been my greatest teacher thus far and I look forward to being her life-long student. The most commonly covered topic: myself.
