About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Educate myself, Learn about myself, and explore.

ABOUT ME

I have an uncontrollable love for the outdoors and exciting experiences. I spent a year in Israel backpacking from place to place, meeting new people, doing a hell of a lot of rock climbing, and keeping the adventure as exciting as possible. I've also gone on many outdoor adventures in the US as well as a few fun roadies. I love to hike/backpack in the woods, and find myself among nature. But i'm no recluse. I find I am a pretty excentric guy up for any kind of fun time. I love music, science, art and adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

be in control of my own reality, try to understand the world, be peaceful, take the longer more scenic path.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like alot of electronic music, jam bands, and such. I play guitar, and love to Jam whenever possible. some of my favorite bands are iron and wine, neon indian, ra ra riot, radiohead, the avett brothers. basically anything with some talent in it. also a big fan of Jazz.

I read alot, but mostly for information--whatever i am currently interested in.

not really a big tv person, so i couldnt tell you too much about that. i am a big documentary guy though, and i am pretty well versed in movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

cliff diving at a desert oasis, rock climbing in the west bank, ropeswinging into the jordan river, hiking the entire length of the golan heights. Solo roadie across the east coast. genetically modifying bacteria.

Teach, Learn, Share
