CURRENT MISSION

even breathing feels alright...

ABOUT ME

I'm a self-employed, white collar professional by day. The rest of the time I'm in shorts and a t-shirt. I'm casual, easy to be around, and love to show off the area.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very experiential. People are more important than things. I believe the vast majority of mankind is good. Don't judge, be accepting. My fear is to be laying on my death bed, saying "if I had only done _______" (fill in the blank).

I believe this, "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." -Rumi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love to travel to foreign lands and meet locals. Visiting Moscow in 1993 was amazing. Raising my two girls is definitely the highlight so far. Traveling Europe for two months in my early 20s was eye-opening. Being married for 19 years taught me a lot. And breakfast this morning was great!
