CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, grow, career, adventure, FUN!

ABOUT ME

I have been a few places, I caught a contagious version of the travel bug and it has been cultivating ever since. I am open, fun loving and get along well with many different kinds of people. I love the great outdoors, sports, family, and adventure. I will try most things a few times, or until I like it. I love run-on sentences. I like exercise, fitness, health, dark chocolate, kids, and tons of other things. I leave things better than I found them.

PHILOSOPHY
