About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A stamp from every continent in my passport

ABOUT ME

I work 50 hours/week and I take advantage of my weekends by going on mini vacations up and down California, wine regions, mountains, beaches.

I love going against the grain and doing the exact opposite of what my family expects me to do. They are all married and have kids, I on the other hand have always been a little eccentric and a free-thinker in my approach to life and how I want to experience it, not how life should experience me.

My ultimate dream in life is to have a stamp from every continent in my passport.

PHILOSOPHY

After loosing people that I love, I decided to prioritize my life and invest my hard work in collecting memories and experiences not material possessions.

Although my career is secure and has provided me with some comfortable benefits, I live well beneath my means thus giving me the freedom to eat, drink and travel very handsomely.
