About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience flow everyday at everything

ABOUT ME

I'm a very open minded and curious individual. It is a big world out there with endless experiences and opportunities. In September of 2013 I started an accounting company that uses cloud tools and my personal wealth philosophy to help small business owners succeed in amazing ways.

My best friend and business partner, Eric, are beginning a new venture called Adventure Flow in Juneau, AK. Flow is the psychological state of "in the zone" and "living the moment". We are focusing on giving this euphoria to guests through trail runs, hikes, and landscape painting tours. Lots of work out but every step is loads of fun with plenty of adventure baked in.

I grew up in Montana, but lived in Los Angeles, California from 2007-2012. I worked in the visual effects industry helping produce all the flashy movie scenes that couldn't actually exist in real life. I finished working on Tron: Legacy and then moved on to relaxing, traveling, and enjoying life in Europe, Montana, and spontaneous bursts of movement around the U.S.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is no such thing as a challenge. Only an adventure."

I wish to enjoy life. Even if I had no relationships, no goals to achieve, no material possessions, I would still choose to be happy and simply appreciate whatever was around me at the moment. Thankfully I do possess all these things so that makes life even easier :)

"Everyday I hope to do something foolish, something creative, and something generous." - Benjamin Graham

Interests

Running, hiking, sailing, outdoors, music, clean socks, technology, and a good conversation with an interesting individuals. I've always thought everyone has something to teach me, and therefore meeting new people is always an important experience I look forward to.

I like to geek out on topics like entrepreneurship, accounting, taxes, and financial markets. As well as more normal person things such as beer, dancing, and travel stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm easily entertained and enjoy most movies.

I enjoy almost all music, but I tend to listen to mostly electronic based genres.

I read a lot. However, I mostly read non-fiction books and articles on topics that I'm interested in (technology, finance, economics, Alaska).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Got a credit in a big feature film (Tron Legacy) as a Technical Assistant.
* Living my dream as a small business owner.
