About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place and have a damn good time doing so!

ABOUT ME

I'm like an overgrown Huckleberry Finn. I love wild adventures and I too often find myself in trouble because of it. I think rules are made to be broken. I spend a lot of time reading and cooking new ideas in my brain. I never want to stop learning. I believe in order to have a happy life you have to serve others. Misery comes from focusing too much on ourselves. I spent 3.5 yrs after college working corporate before I decided to go out on my own. I hope I never have to work for any company but my own ever again, because I like making my own rules. I love craft beer and scotch whisky. I'm hoping to one day have my own brewery and distillery. I really think the Andean Mtn range needs a whisky distillery, so if any of you want to help me make it happen let me know.

PHILOSOPHY

I live the golden rule and I think we all have a responsibility to leave a mark for good. I believe in progress and think we should all be disrupting the institutions that keep us stagnant. Do well by doing good and always challenge the status quo.

The world is much smaller thanks to Couchsurfing. I love this concept and I love having friends the world over.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list...Good Will Hunting is among my all time favorite movies and Steinbeck's East of Eden probably hit me the hardest of any novel I've ever read. I mostly read non fiction.
