CURRENT MISSION

Spend the rest of my life acquiring experiences, not objects.

ABOUT ME

Long time carpenter, mechanic, part time adventurer. I spend seven months a year on a rig, on call 24/7, which means I have five months off, 28 days at a time, to travel and try to maintain the few close relationships we all should have. I speak a little Spanish mostly from my work days, enough German to embarrass myself, and enough Thai to travel and get some of the best food in the world.

Interests

My kids, traveling, the rocketbelt, hiking, backpacking, non-technical climbing, exploring the mines and ghost towns of the American West, baseball, smoky bourbon, Detroit muscle, and my work.
