I'm 30 years old. I was born in NJ, USA but am now a citizen of the world. I've been to 26 countries and 32 states. I've lived in Spain for 7 months and Kenya for 7 months.

I'm now doing a cross country drive from NJ to San Diego, where I plan on living - at least for a while. And along the way, enjoying the wonders of 5 new states.

Since I quit the corporate world in 2010, I've been a dog trainer, Calculus professor, English Teacher, Direct Care Worker with the Developmentally Disabled, Bocce Coach, English teacher, Fundraising Coordinator, UI Design Consultant, SEO Writer, Copywriter, and Non-Profit Founder.

Now, I'm using the skills I've learned and my unique way to approach the world to help other corporate executives bring a little adventure into their lives, have deeper relationships, and really love life and work immediately, not later.

Movies: The Boondock Saints, Eat Pray Love, Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, 80s Horror Movies, 80s movies in general, shawshank redemption, anything that makes me laugh,

Books: Books that inspire and make me think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raise $9000 in 6 weeks to build 7 houses in Kenya. Then, move to Kenya to oversee the construction and take on a local fundraising volutneer position.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a dog trainer so I can help people live better with their dogs. I can teach math... hmmm I can teach people how to fly for cheap! I'm an expert travel hacker...
