CURRENT MISSION

After years of traveling around the U.S. and Europe I've settled down to go back to school to study writing.

ABOUT ME

I'm the guy that stacks more and more things on his plate, trying to balance them, hoping that they fit snugly and and in a satisfactory way, and then once in a while, once in a while it ends up like Jenga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to hitchhike all over the country and Europe. During this years-long period, I never stayed in one place more than a few months in a stretch. I've traded my traveling shoes for a stable home. Though, once in a while everyone needs a vacation.
