CURRENT MISSION

exploring, loving, kickin ass

ABOUT ME

i love to travel, am always on the go, and do all my own stunts. i drink too much coffee and often do far too many things at the same time. but i just call it "extreme multi-tasking." needless to say, i misplace things like my car keys quite frequently.

i greatly value my friendships and relationship with my family. i love making new friends & learning from those around me.

if i could "be" anything, i'd be a crazy-traveling-documentary-maker. and yes, that's an official title. i went to college for visual art, so i'm constantly involved in something creative.
i also love the outdoors and relish in fresh, wild air.
i've had all sorts of jobs. i've worked as a whitewater raft guide on the ocoee river in TN, a zipline guide in Austin, TX, an art instructor in Asheville, NC, and most recently as a bartender in a 133 year old wild west saloon in Leadville, CO.

i'm a little all over the place, but those close to me call me "at one with my environment"
i'm ridiculously adventurous and you will rarely catch me turning down an awesome opportunity.
i get along with pretty much anyone, but get along best with open-minded individuals who like to enjoy life for each moment!

PHILOSOPHY

love, connect, enjoy, appreciate

be true to your work, your word & your friend.
live, travel, adventure, bless & don't be sorry.
a purpose of human life is to love whoever is around to be loved.
i'd rather be ashes than dust.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

i spent the past few months hitchhiking across western america with a fellow artist and friend. i've been collecting stories, philosophies, beliefs and just about anything else. i'm in the arduous process of making a documentary about the modern face of america & the nature of human beings.
i've backpacked through europe and have been skydiving, which were both pretty righteous.
