About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love to travel, meet people, chat about the world and find the good in human nature

ABOUT ME

I like to be happy. I like to help people and hopefully help make the world a better place. I love to learn. I love to travel. I've stepped foot in over 80 countries so far in my life - and hoping for many more...

PHILOSOPHY

I think the world is a good place and most people are good. I think the world has to wake up and quit focusing on money and oil and power and start focusing on the well being of humanity and our earth.

Interests

I love discovering new places, new people. I love food and drink. I enjoy exercising working out, yoga, soccer, skiing, biking, etc. I love doing activities with my wife and daughter and dog- especially seawall walks, soccer, playing games - whatever.
