About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I seek El Dorado, but pray never to find it.

ABOUT ME

I have explored and written about many places in Texas, but now I must answer the call to do greater things. I love both my jobs, geologic analysis pays more, but writing is my real work.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not waste the gift you are given, spend your life living, because there's plenty of time to lay around and do nothing after death.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou changed my life. I like songs that tell stories. I revel in first person adventure books, fiction and non.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had many amazing experiences, but finishing college was by far my grandest feat. I hope to overshadow it very soon, with a project I am currenty working on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe promoting human interaction is the most important mission of any traveler. We all share the same core ideals, ergo most confict arrives from poor communication. Reopening channels closed sinces th dawn of time stands to correct the errors of the past, present, and future.
