CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I lived traveled and lived broad for seven of the last ten years. I'm now enjoying Central America and working remotely from Latin American countries on my personal project about artists who've left cults. WitnessUnderground.com

PHILOSOPHY

Social experiences are the keys to happiness. Time is more valuable than money and traveling more than a career. The best education in the world is obtained from those you meet while on a grand adventure out in the world. I love selling everything and walking away with a backpack - It's the most liberating thing I've done and I've done it six times...I just did it again :) Attachment to possessions isn't for me. I do my best to liberate myself regularly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Ecuador I climbed to the summit of the tallest active Volcano, Cotopaxi, in the world. A couple years earlier I and two others nearly died on the tallest inactive volcano, Chimborazo, due to hypothermia combined with altitude sickness.

My zen place where i escape to for moments throughout the day is riding the streets of Hanoi Vietnam on my motorbike. It was one of my favorite daily activities. I miss it.
