CURRENT MISSION

to try everything twice

ABOUT ME

I grew up watching too many Indiana Jones movies and decided at a very early age that I was going to try everything in the world once. I'm not quite there, but I'm making a dent. After two years on Wall Street, a quarter-life crisis, and a 14-month backpacking trip, I'm back in New York City starting up an adventure travel company, Urban Escapes. Pretty fitting ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life full of passion and everything will work itself out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the run rise just behind Mount Everest after a three hour hike up to Kala Patthar, an 18,200 ft "peak" in the Himalayan range. If you have some vacation time with no plans yet, do the Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. It was truly amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Smiling is universal and hugs are always warmer than hand shakes. At the end of the day, people will remember you not for the things you did, but for the interactions you had with them.
