CURRENT MISSION

To Live without regrets...

ABOUT ME

Friends would probably describe me as easy going, out going, and always going (somewhere). Im an activity oriented guy (mostly volleyball/beach, samba drumming, and salsa/zouk dancing), but i also like more passive activities such as going to the movies and just having an interesting conversation over dinner.

PHILOSOPHY

Remember how long a year lasted when you were a little kid? It was ridiculously long. And now? If you are in a routine that you could do blindfolded... with no adrenaline triggers to open your mind and create a marker.. there is nothing to stop the passage of time and a year will speed by. For a kid, it is the opposite... as each day is filled with a variety of new experiences... that create markers.. and slow the perception of time. So my philosphy is to live life with the spirit of early youth... to create as many markers as I can...and to encourage others to do the same by pulling them out of the Matrix and into the world that travel and CS can provide.
