About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do & see everything and go everywhere that the world has to offer; EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE!

ABOUT ME

I am always looking for an adventure, getting outdoors, and having fun. I like to bike everywhere and climb everything. I love to try new things and learn about everything. There is nothing too out there for me and nothing too crazy.

I love being a tourist and really don't care that I look like one most of the time. My camera goes everywhere with me; it does what I do and sees what I see. If you travel with me, there will be some great pictures of you.

PHILOSOPHY

There is never enough time to do everything, but one can always try.

Don't think, just do.

Interests

EVERYTHING! Including but definitely not limited to:

Outdoor adventure sports:
biking (both mountain and road),
all types of climbing (rock, ice, mountain, etc.),
mountaineering, camping, backpacking, hiking, caving, whitewater, scuba diving

Hobbies: photography, amateur radio, computers, flying, rockets, space exploration, and travelling

And of course: Traveling and Having Fun!

I'm always into trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My whole life is an adventure with no end. It has been amazing so far.

Ran with the Bulls!

Teach, Learn, Share

I was an instructor/trip leader for the Outdoor Recreation program at Georgia Tech. I, or I know someone who, can teach you almost everything you would like to know about backpacking, caving, mountain biking, rock climbing, whitewater, and sea kayaking.

I like to expand my horizons and learn how do everything. Currently on this list of things I would like to learn are: better cooking (ie. selections when shopping, different cooking techniques), more photography (setting selection), massaging, martial arts, languages, and yoga.
