About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel Central America, meet people & have good times

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Colorado, skiing is one of the great loves of my life. Aside from that, anything outdoors is good times; backpacking, mountain biking, soccer, scuba diving, surfing, watching American football, bar-hopping, reading and relaxing, making new friends. Went to college in Arkansas (yes, Arkansas), and found it is a much nicer place then its redneck reputation allows for. I just got back from half a year in Central America, and I plan on going to teach English somewhere in Asia (hopefully soon).

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, dont laugh if its not funny, but hopefully you are with people who will make you laugh. That is all I have time to write for now, i'm not going to get all technical on you just yet.
