CURRENT MISSION

expand my mind

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded guy, living in Portland. I moved out to the Northwest last fall to work at Mt. Hood Meadows ski resort and snowboard all winter. I like to wander around and have a good time. It usually seems to lead to good things/people. I love the beauty of the area and the many things to do out there. I recently hiked to the summit of Mt St. Helens for the first time, seeing an active volcano up close and personal was fascinating.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to learn from everyone I encounter, I think everyone can teach you something if you're willing to listen with an open mind.
