ABOUT ME

I consider myself a laid-back guy with an adventurous streak. I enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life. When not at work, I can generally be found doing something outside, snapping pictures of someone, something, or some place, enjoying a drink with friends, admiring something beautiful, or traveling (of course).

PHILOSOPHY

Be rich, not a poor person with oodles of money!
