CURRENT MISSION

As a writer, I am a slave to experience. I seek experience and writing material wherever I go. I will cross oceans and journey over mountains for a unique experience—anything that I feel I can share with the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm fun and outgoing. I love to listen as much as I love to talk. I enjoy meeting people, traveling, and experiencing everything life has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Carpe Diem.

Forget regret or life is yours to miss.

Not all those who wander are lost.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's so many and all were equally fantastic. From my travels, one adventure in particular sticks in my mind: hiking up the Franz-Josef Glacier in New Zealand, surrounded by walls of topaz-blue ice.
