About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dedicate my time in this expansive world seeing everything I can, and then see it again

ABOUT ME

I graduated from college and took an internship in New York City. It was upon completion of this experience that I realized there is much much more for me to see and time is running out. I have the bug something fierce and don't think its going away:) When grounded in Alaska I enjoy biking, snowboarding, fishing, hiking, and acquring knowledge. In the summer I enjoy lazy days with friends or family with a cold beer in hand, reminiscing about good times while sharing dreams of things to come, under the alaskan midnight sun. Always look forward to meeting new people and starting new adentures, talk to ya soon...

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

Lives, like money, are spent. What are you buying with yours? - Roy H. Williams
