ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving, open-minded person committed to kindness and respect. I love music and love sharing it with others. I want to experience all that life has to offer and travel the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kissed the Blarney Stone and went to Stone Henge. Walked across Abbey Road with three friends thus recreating our own version of the iconic album cover. Have been to the Redwoods, Yosemite, Bryce Canyon, The Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. Drove and parked in New York City. Saw the Statue of Liberty. Ate seafood everyday for 6 weeks all over Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Worked in Sheridan, Wyoming in winter for 4 weeks. Drove the Oregon Coast. Went to the San Juan Islands in Northern Washington. Went to a music festival and Disney World in Florida. Have been to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festiavl at least 5 times. Have seen hundreds of concerts all over the West Coast and the Southwest. Disc jockeyed a wedding on the beach. Caught twenty 20 pound Silver Salmon in rural Alaska. Rode in a float plane. Survived 5 car accidents (including one that left me with a separated shoulder).
