ABOUT ME

After selling our business in 2010, we have had more freedom to travel and backpack. We enjoy new experiences, and the new perspectives those experiences bring.

We are planning to serve in the Peace Corps again in Moldova, expecting to begin service in June 2015.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to not follow one's passions. We all can achieve our own successes if we set our mind to it.
