CURRENT MISSION

Help others through adventure while being an amazing husband and father.

ABOUT ME

I want to do charity work all over the world and meet amazing people while seeing this beautiful earth.

I have rode my bicycle across the country in 2007 and ran across the country in 2012 to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

I am currently trying to climb the Seven Summits to raise $1,000,000 for those affected by Cystic Fibrosis. I do this through my foundation called More Than Just Me. www.mtjm.org .

I love all sports. If I don't know how to play it I want to learn. Love to hike, kayak, surf, golf, basketball, football, soccer, baseball, softball, mountain bike, volleyball and many many more. Very easy to get a long with and love life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to not live it. I never wanna be lying on my death bed wondering what I should of done. I have many goals/dreams in life and no one can bring me down and keep me from at least trying to do them.

WHY MAKE THE SKY YOUR LIMIT? I WANT TO GO BEYOND THAT!!!

When you stop living....you start dying....

Be BIGGER than yourself

LIVE.YOUR.LIFE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in Couch Surfing by spreading the word everywhere I go to almost everyone. It seems at first people are always a little worried but after I tell them about my amazing experiences they start to understand. A lot of them actually joined CS!!!! I'm happy to be part of such a great family!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My Couchsurfing experience so far has been nothing but amazing. I have met people that I can confidently call long term friends. I hear stories that blow my mind and I get to see the country. Why would you not CouchSurf? One of my new goals now is to Couch Surf in every State plus Washington D.C. So 51 (Thanks Halef)

I love all sports, football, soccer, baseball, basketball, softball, surfing, running, cycling, swimming, shuffleboard, pool, darts, hockey, yoga, doing a tomakazi if I don't know how to play it I want to learn. I love watching but mostly participating. I love to photograph my life and make videos so I can laugh at myself later. I love to hear, see, do crazy things that will blow my mind. I also love to paint..I'm not good at all but it's a total stress reliever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran across america from Seattle, WA to Daytona Beach, FL to raise awareness and donations for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. My journey is called More Than Just Miles.

I have rode my bike from Newport Beach, CA to Boston, MA for 2 months while stopping at over 50 schools and speaking to over 10,000 kids and handing out 1/4 million dollars in books. I hope this will not be the last thing I do that is amazing.

I am now attempting the Seven Summits around the world (Highest Peak on every continent). November of '13 I knocked out the first by summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. Next up is Mt. Elbrus in southwest Russia! All of this is to raise $1,000,000 for Cystic Fibrosis!

I once woke up to a horrific sound so I explored it and my mother was on the computer with head phones on singing along to "Kiss by a rose" by Seal....Wasn't too amazing for me....She is very Tone Deaf

Teach, Learn, Share

If I teach anything I hope that it is that you continue to dream whether you are 5 years old or 105 years old. My goal is to learn every bit that I can and share all of my experiences I have encountered. I can also teach people how to give 5 different kinds of high fives and how to do a Tomakazi :D
