CURRENT MISSION

To explore and learn about who I am and what I want, all while keepin' it coasty and calm

ABOUT ME

I'm a high energy, fun loving guy who's happy to meet anyone. I have trouble not getting along with anybody and am willing to partake in almost any activity.

I love playing sports, and I mean all sports. In fact, it's one of my goals to beat somebody on every continent in a game of basketball! Although Baseball is my favorite sport, if you need a tennis partner, a soccer buddy, a rugby teammate... I want to play!

I also love nature and the outdoors, I'm always looking for a hike, and I'm never happier than when I'm in the wilderness with some great people, seeing the stars at night by the fire.

I'm willing to try (almost) anything once, and hopefully you have lots of great recommendations for me while I'm in your area!

I also love technology. I'm currently a web developer, but have interest in the entire technology sector. If you need somebody to fix your router or teach you some JavaScript, I'll gladly trade my services for your couch!

PHILOSOPHY

"Play after play," like my old Baseball coach used to say. Which means, if you make a poor play/decision, don't make another one based off of that and make things worse. Dust yourself off, start over, focus on doing the right thing; one step at a time.

The rooftops in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The crowd at the Holy Ship!! music festival.
The old city of Jerusalem.

The Manhattan skyline gone dark, from Hurricane Sandy.

Sorry, there's no way I could pick one.

Teach, Learn, Share

The four S's are key to living an easier life.
1) Simple: Make everything in life simpler than it really is. Everything is a step, not a full task. You're not cleaning your whole room, you're taking your clothes and putting them away. You're sweeping the floor. You're taking out the trash.
2) Small: Use your overall goals as "the beacon" to keep you on course. Break everything down into smaller goals. "My goal is to put my clothes away." "My goal is to make my bed."
3) Short: You can survive anything for 45 minutes. "I'm going to clean my room for 45 minutes."
4) Slow: Pay attention to what you're doing. Take your time. Never do something twice that you should have done once.
