About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live my life in a way that inspires others to live there dreams

ABOUT ME

i love to travel and see now thinks, For me it about the people you meet and the natural world around you. The world is a crazy place and i am just trying to understand as much of it as i can. I am a really in to climbing , hiking , skiing , backpacking, canyoning, and any thing that gets you out side.

PHILOSOPHY

This is my gospel I try to live my life by it

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, â

Interests

i am interested in photography, why we do what we do, and finding a way to live substanably on the very small plant that is out home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen so many amazing things but to come to mind one is watching the norther lights when it 60 below out side. The way they dance in the sky makes them seem unreal. The other reminded me of that. I just got done sailing in the pacific and some time at night you will get dolphins who will play off the bow of the boat and the plosperesent will light out the out line of there body as they move though the water it is amazing to see under a full night sky with the effects of night pollution. I have never seen any thing so amazing
