CURRENT MISSION

I spent 30 years in Fire and Aviation all over the Northwest US and Alaska...and made a living hanging out in some of the most beautiful places on Earth..now semi-retired I am into traveling, meeting new people and having fun

ABOUT ME

Grew up surfing and playing music in the San Francisco Bay Area so a fairly liberal atmosphere and allot of fun with great people and incredible music. Traveled between Alaska and the tip of Baja Mexico for the next 30 years..basicly a west coast boy. Did a long stitch with the Forest Service in Aviation and Fire where I was among other things a helicopter mgr, Hotshot, Smokejumper, air attack, tanker base mgr and ended up running the aviationj program in Nevada for Bureau of Land Management until I retired about 5 years ago. Now it's wide open again!

PHILOSOPHY

If you do not have the capacity to love yourself, then there is simply no basis on which to build a sense of caring toward others. If you are not living on the edge then you are taking up too much room!
