About Me

CURRENT MISSION

GoPro the world.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Northern California in a small town near San Francisco. I’ve always love d to travel and now my lifestyle affords me to do this all the time.

I ended up in Warsaw after a last minute decision not to return to my job in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm enjoying my life here in Warsaw and love having an opportunity to meet new people. If you are new to the area or want someone to hang out with please don’t hesitate to contact me. We can kick it on the balacony or hit the local pub.

PHILOSOPHY

I truly believe that what you put in, is what you get in return. Trying to live life to the fullest everyday and taking advantage of the things you've been afforded to do. Gotta jump feet first!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I accomplished a childhood dream in the year 2002 and drove my 1970 BMW 2002 across the U.S. from California to New York, shipped my car to Northern Germany and drove to an event sponsored by BMW and the Deutchland 02 Club in Oberramgergau, Bavaria. It was a dream come true and it far surpassed my expectations. Just paid off the credit card bill from that one... phew! Only live once ;)

Dreaming up my next adventure... long distance motorcycle trip from SF to Argentina was a thought... Who's down?

Teach, Learn, Share

I finished up a Masters course in Madrid this past summer and what we constantly discussed was being a lifelong learner. I definitely fall into this category and I just love to learn how to do new things. I especially love learning about other people's lives and what they do.
