CURRENT MISSION

To create and build things

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

To live a life full of adventure and purpose, and to give back to humanity while being the best person I can be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My near death experiences:

- Running out of air while scuba diving in Dahab, Egypt and correctly performing the out-of-air signal to my diving partner only to be ignored

- Tripping on a rock while riding a mountain bike down Death Road in Bolivia, the most dangerous road on Earth

- Getting mugged by 7 locals downtown Johannesburg, South America during the 2010 World Cup

- Falling off of a dirt bike while zipping across Zanzibar Island in Tanzania and burning a chunk of flesh on my leg (from the engine)

- Riding a motorbike across Vietnam (Vietnamese are crazy crazy drivers)

- Brakes stopped working while motorbiking down a mountain

- Skydiving (no accidents, but the first 5 seconds felt like death o.O)

- North Korea

Teach, Learn, Share
