CURRENT MISSION We sold our house, quit our jobs and were travelling around the world for 2 years when I found a job in Poland that will make our trip 2 years longer. That job led to another project in Dubai. Corporate sponsored travel. What else can I say? ABOUT ME Grew up in Southern Oregon, went to school in Northern Oregon, met my wife April, graduated, went to work building power plants in the southern USA, went to work building roads and airports in Reno, Nevada, skied a lot at Tahoe and then gave up our comfortable lifestyle to pursue our dream of travelling the world in a simple manner. We travelled full time for 6 months in Europe and then one thing led to another and I ended up working in Poland on another power plant. After that finished we were offered another opportunity that was very hard to pass up in Dubai. Here we are! PHILOSOPHY Live for today while keeping in mind the potential consequences for tomorrow. Simply living for today or this moment can result in children, jail, or working until you die, amongst other things.
