ABOUT ME
I'm a globe-trotting, fun loving, laughter inducing, positive guy :)
I Consider myself to be very easy going, and I love to have a good time and meet new people.
I love good laughs, HIKING!, snow capped mountains, funky and soulful music, good people, snowboarding, learning new languages...
My favorite place to be is on top of a mountain, whether it is on a snowboard or after a hike. I've also developed a love of photography through traveling.
Ride the wind, as my grandfather always said.
"I have nothing to say of my working life, only that a tie is a noose, and inverted though it is, it will hang a man nonetheless if he's not careful. "

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled to 11 different countries by boat, circumnavigating the globe with 700 other students in 2008 on Semester at Sea.
Skydiving in Hawaii at sunset over the ocean and mountains.
New Zealand is probably the most beautiful place I've had the pleasure of visiting.
Took an Alaskan cruise and was awed.
Drove from New York to California 3 times after realizing I need to see more of my own country before running away to other ones... though it's quite difficult to convince myself of this.
