I'm an adventurer with multiple careers and I consider myself primarily an out-of-work actor. US Army vet, former private eye, former personal trainer, former pro college student -- lots of stuff. I'm eclectic, for sure. My parents took me on a lot of roadtrips as a kid and that gave me the travel bug. There's more stuff that I'll add in a bit, for sure, but it's 12:24 AM and I'm sleepy...
