CURRENT MISSION

To travel with as much as possible, growing along the way through people, nature, and experiences.

ABOUT ME

hmmm... Simply put, I just want to be happy. If you have the right outlook on life in general, happiness will stay with you :) I have a passion for travel, rock climbing, hiking, and cycling. Basically anything outside. I love learning about cultures that new to me through the people that I meet. I grew up in a small town in North Dakota....very small, and vowed to see as much of the world as I could.

PHILOSOPHY

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church....a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.”
