CURRENT MISSION

To live passionately, intentionally, find adventure, and invest in people.

ABOUT ME

California boy at heart, but definitely have a bit of a wandering streak. Currently find myself living on a sailboat docked in Redwood City. I'm always down for trying and learning new things, and love hanging out with real, down-to-earth people. To find out more come aboard and we can swap stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe a bit of some Thoreau: "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life" and some Solomon: "I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched a glorious sunrise come up from underneath the clouds after having summited Mount Shasta during the night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can bombard you with any number of random and useless facts. I'm pretty much up for anything and would love to learn anything you'd like to teach. I'll share time, food, and maybe a sail around the bay.
