CURRENT MISSION

Soak in all there is, learn, teach, better myself, leave a lasting positive impact, create friendships, laugh, cry, and find moments that inspire.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going guy who's kind, courteous, goofy, and intrigued.

PHILOSOPHY

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of that candle will not be shortened... Happiness does not decrease when shared.

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...it truly is the universal language; you don't have to know the language of the lyrics in a song (if there are any) for it to move you. I love rock n roll, bluegrass, funk, hip hop, and electronic music but that love has no bound.

Movies...Forest Gump, Dumb and Dumber, and Sandlot are fantastic. The Coen Brothers (Big Lebowski, Fargo), Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), and Wes Anderson (Life Aquatic, Grand Budapest Hotel) have made some of my favorites. I also enjoy a good independent film.

Books...Where would we be without books? The Alchemist, The Prophet, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Helping Friendly Book, and The Hobbit have made the world a better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went down a class 3 river in an inner tube. That was my first real river experience and I still have yet to have actually gone rafting.

Teach, Learn, Share

Simple but effective. Did you know you can open a bottled beverage with a bic lighter or similar lighter? Wrap your hand in a fist around the top of the bottle tightly, wedge the bottom end of the lighter between the teeth of the bottle cap and the inside of your index finger, push the top end of the lighter down with your other hand and pop off the cap. A little tricky at first but soon enough you'll be popping bottle caps sky high.

Advice from a rabbit: Be a good listener, eat plenty of greens, let your dreams multiply (hop to it!), know when to be still, spend time in nature, don't worry be hoppy now!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation and I would be glad to give a helping hand in any way I can; my parents taught me well to always leave a place better than you left it.
