About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get out into the world more and more, never slowing down

ABOUT ME

You can usually find me in the surf or snow. Depending on the weather. I grew up in Upstate New York. (5 hours AWAY from the city) Growing up there i gained a strong love and respect for nature and the outdoors. I love backpacking, hiking, snowboarding, surfing, and anything else you can name outdoors. If its raining I'll be inside playing some foosball with my buddies!

I work too much for my own good, but I play harder to make up for it. I also enjoy music. I usually have my ipod in my ear or music playing at my place, so I am always open to recommendations!

PHILOSOPHY

Balance is key. I feel a need to always be moving forward. Never back.

(well maybe sometimes its going forward in reverse)
