Positive Mental Altitude

ABOUT ME

Tall and sensible looking with a dry sense of humor and a tendency to focus on the details. I guess that makes me a cat person. Never did have a cat though.

Anyway, I'm fairly easy to get along with, clean, inquisitive, tolerant and open minded.

Chronologically speaking my life goes like this:

Left New Zealand and worked for an ad agency in Melbourne, Australia for a few years as an art director, then took a year out to wander aimlessly across North America. Best year of my life. Returned to New Zealand for some years, filled my time as an interactive designer. Quit that after a few years, volunteered as a National Park Warden on the side of an active Volcano. Yes we got wear cool hats. Then hauled ass back to the States and thru-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. Did that pretty quickly, despite being struck by lightning, so hiked the Camino De Santiago in Spain as well. Now I'm in Melbourne again. Aiming to hike the Te Araroa track in New Zealand next.
