ABOUT ME

CURRENTLY TRAVELING GOLDEN, COLORADO thru Sep 30, 2014.**** Upbeat, non-smoking, clean, and professional guy...Enjoys the outdoors, boating, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, rollerblading and hanging out with friends. Pretty flexible. I am enjoying cooking more and more (loving my Big Green Egg grill), and I enjoy the art of homebrewing. I love live music (just started piano lessons in May '09) and I like to tinker and fix stuff. I am a private pilot, and enjoy any time spent on or near the water. I invest in real estate, and I am a personal success coach.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy a happy life and bring along as many other people as possible. Life is people. Life is a culmination of our experiences, our relationships, our thoughts, and our discoveries.
