CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I'm a country boy turned big city guy. I still have my small town values, but I love the cultural opportunities that a big city provides. I am different things to different people, but I try to be generous to everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life to the fullest. Part of that is traveling as much as I can to learn more about this amazing world that we live in. I am not afraid to try new things, and I always enjoy sharing new experiences with others.

For sports I like to run, swim, bike, hike and play tennis. I like to watch baseball, American football, ice hockey and football. Of course, I LOVE to travel, learn about other cultures, and meet new people

When it comes to music I have a very wide variety of interest. I am always eager to learn about new bands and artists.

Unfortunately, most of the books I have read recently have been for school. I am working on the latest novel by John Irving, my favorite American novelist. I also appreciate the dark humor of Stephen King's writing. Suggest something good that you've read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have done is attend the Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain in 2005. I enjoyed the live music, meeting new people at what is basically an enormous block party, attending a bull fight, and running with the bulls. I enjoyed it so much I did it again in 2007.
