About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Uncovering my True Passion

ABOUT ME

Flexible and easy going. I love the outdoors and I love my beautiful mutt dog. We have an innate connection to nature that when lost causes uneasiness. Keeping an open mind is important to me, I like to hear other's opinions that conflict with my own so I can try to understand them. A life without laughter isn't a life worth living.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience." -Swami Vivekananda

Interests

I'm all over the place, I've started sailing and rock climbing recently, it's been a blast. The calm serenity of the open waters calls to me. Mountain biking is great, the adrenaline rush and the ability to see the outdoors. Also, Snowboarding, Yoga, Soccer, Golfing, Tennis, Camping, Hiking, and Water Sports!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky enough to be apart of a 6 man sailing crew to Catalina from San Diego. After watching the helm for most of the night, I took a short nap. When I awoke and came topside there was a pack of miniature dolphins swimming around the boat. They seemed to be putting on a show for those of us watching them, jumping up out of the water playfully as they passed the bow. What made things more amazing were the Bioluminescent Phytoplankton in the water that lite up a stream in the wake of the dolphins. It felt like a dream.
