ABOUT ME

After a 4 year obligation to the Navy.I started my Journey. I want to LIVE before I die. Far too many people put off their hopes and dreams for retirement. Truth is, you might not live to see retirement.
Did a 4,370 mile solo bicycle journey across the states. Spent the summer exploring Canada and Alaska. Went to El Salvador for a week, Rock climed and scuba dived in Thailand for 3 weeks Hitch hiked all over New Zealand for 2 months, and slept under the stars in the middle of the Out Back in Australia. Worked in Yellowstone for 8 years, made a spontanious trip to Cozumel and Belize and worked/lived in McMurdo Station, Antarctica for 4.5 months. Most recently iv worked as a NOLS instructor and Ski Guide/Raft Guide in Yellowstone National Park.
Iv had a lifetime of experiences in these past few years, and don't plan on quitting this any time soon.
