About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling with my girlfriend through Central and South America.

ABOUT ME

After college, I was able to travel around Spain, Portugal and Morocco for six weeks and I loved it. Now, five years later, my girlfriend and I have saved enough to take a year long journey.

I love to eat, drink, and meet new people. My interests include the outdoors: biking, running, hiking, etc. I play racquetball, soccer, and I'm getting better at golf. Unfortunately, my career involves the indoors: working on a computer and sitting on my ass in an office.

I'm always up for a new experience. We only get one life to live, and one would be a fool to squander it in an office his entire life. I challenge the people I meet to change me; to change my perspective and to relieve my ignorance.

PHILOSOPHY

"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
