CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world for about 7 months on a leave of absence and visit South America and Europe

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old man who grew up in the Bay Area in California, played baseball and golf in high school, went to college (university) in San Luis Obispo which is on the coast halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles and graduated in 2008. I have been working for the same Civil Engineering firm for 4.5 years after graduation and have lived in 3 different places in California with the last two years being in beautiful San Francisco. Prior to really settling down with a family or homeownership, etc, I decided that I would ask my company if I could take a leave of absence to travel the world. With my leave of absence request granted, my best friend from college and I decided to travel through South America, Asia, and Europe! I am very respectful and treat others how I would like to be treated. I'm very outgoing, love meeting other people, love traveling, and my friends know me as a guy full of goofy and often sarcastic humor :)
