ABOUT ME

Trying to improve my "what's next" while appreciating my "right now." I thrive on new experiences. I have traveled to Central and South America, around Europe a few times and North Africa. In my quest to educate myself on life I have done a lot of strange and wonderful things and I feel that I take little pieces of each stage and each person in my life to create the person before you. The more I learn and explore the harder it is for me to settle for anything but complete and total happiness. Until I find that fulfillment, I am taking my retirement early :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously."
— Tom Robbins
