About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To help others take the road less traveled.

ABOUT ME

I spent the past 19 years here in Orlando, Fl. Ive spent the past 5 years working for my dad. The past two winters, I have packed up and moved to Aspen, Colorado to work in the mountains. If it were'nt for the ocean, Id still be there! I thrive on adventure, meeting new people, and seeing new places. I dont believe in working in a cubicle or staying in one place or being confined. I spend most of my free time working out, enjoying the ocean, or having a pint with friends.
I just accepted a job in Grand Cayman, so traveling will be put on hold while I work to save up and pay my bills off to backpack around the world one day.

PHILOSOPHY

Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After englightenment; chop wood, carry water.
