About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and grow

ABOUT ME

Outside of work, I am an extremely social person. I tend to go out 4 nights a week and always lead a group of friends to do whatever. I am super easy going and a very genuine person. I hope to find some other easy going travelers to explore Buenos Aires with.

Professionally, I have worked for Apple Computer and various dot com's in marketing and sales then I became a business development manager for a television show, a digital media agency, and owned a music business booking bands around the country. Currently I work as a counselor and help people for a living. I love what I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the best of any situation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I worked in music and listen to just about everything. My current favorites would be Beach House, Radiohead, Bon Iver, TV On The Radio, Bird and The Bee, She and Him, and Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zero's, and Blackbird Blackbird. Austin has a big indie rock scene which is cool and the Strange Boys are a perfect example of the caliber of bands coming out of Austin. Pitchfork even rated them in their top 100 bands of all time.

Books: Vonnegut

Movies: No Country for Old Men, Donnie Darko, Harold and Maude, Superbad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a high ropes course once that was extremely challenging. I had to climb a telephone pole and then stand on a platform that was not much bigger than a shoe box and stop the pole from shaking. I then I had to stand and jump and catch a trapeze. It was something I did years ago but it taught me valuable principles about making leaps in life.
