About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To accomplish all my goals, both big and small.

ABOUT ME

I am a really easy going guy who loves to do all sorts of things. I love playing guitar, singing, and playing bass and have performed on stage in a number of countries. I love traveling and have been to 20 different countries around the world -- in South America, Central America, and Asia. I have also taught English in South Korea, Peru, Argentina, and Nicaragua. I'm currently traveling in Central and South America.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don´t believe in yourself, no one else will.

Also, I believe Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) summed it up best:
¨Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
...I choose, and then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find¨
