ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Ive recently realized that in life we all have these points in our life that we can start over, or change something in our life that has a dramatic change on the future. I am now in the begining stages of that change.... and its amazing. :) {edit} I am now in the final stages of the change... I am quiting my job of 5 1/2yrs and taking a year off to travel. I am going to be hiking the Appalachian Trail with my brother starting March 15th, 2009.

Interests

I love to stay active. I will make a list of things that I do and if anyone is interested in hearing details about any of them I will be glad to talk with them about it. Rock Climbing/bouldering, Mountain Biking, Tennis, (Running, Biking, Swimming, and Triathlons: a combination of all three in one event.) I also do Parkour, which a great discipline to learn, build, and break the limitations of your body. I enjoy trying to learn the guitar and occasionally making noise with other people that sometimes can make incredible music.
