CURRENT MISSION To enjoy the journey, no matter what the destination! ABOUT ME Back in 2008, I hoped on my bicycle and rode from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. It was a life changing adventure. Currently I am a bike messenger and sewer for a bag company. I am also in a pirate band. I just got married on 9/17/2016. My partner, Rebecca Owen in my friends list, and I are honeymooning in Germany (and hopefully some other places in Europe) in the hopes of moving here in the near future. This will be the first time for either of us visiting Europe. PHILOSOPHY "Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around." Vanilla Sky, Sofia I also have the Litany Against Fear from Dune tattooed on my arm.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate..." aka I got to sit and watch the monarch butterfly migration on one of my trips. Rode a bicycle almost the whole way across the country...
