About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make the most out of my one wild beautiful life, do good work, be neighborly

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the middle of the woods in rural Maine. We didn't have electricity or running water until I was 14, but it was awsome. I had a globe and often dreamed of traveling the world. Most of my time was and still is spent outdoors. I graduated college and was able to work and make money and started traveling the world. I've done pretty good so far and have seen and done alot all over. I mostly like to surf and rock climb for activities when I travel as well as take in the culture and history of a place. Now I fish and have a large boat on an island in Maine. I take off every winter and travel. I think it makes me a more well rounded person. Im excited about meeting people, sharing and laughing, and seeing the world while having lots of fun.

PHILOSOPHY

oh the ol golden rule maybe: treat others how you want to be treated.,
