CURRENT MISSION

Back in the states now. The mission is to earn as much money as quickly as possible so I can leave again.

ABOUT ME

*** I have limited internet access, so if I don't respond to you right away, please don't be offended. I will respond. Thanks for being understanding.***

My dog, River, went to Heaven last year. I have a new best friend (though not a replacement), my rabbit Charlie.

I spent an amazing year traveling and rather then "curing" the travel bug, as my family had hoped, it has only fueled it. Luckily I met some amazing people along the way and my resources outside of America have grown. I'm currently stoked on my work situation but plan to continue taking 1-2 surf trips per year. I'm not set on my current location though. No roots anytime in my foreseeable future.

I'm always looking to meet like-minded people, future travel buddies...

I am happiest on the beach. I surf, but not as well as I would like; I'm always working on it. Running makes me smile; I go for distance. I hate being cold but will suck it up if there's snow. I'm a Texan. I'm a Christian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A stand-out experience was surfing, alone, with a pod of dolphins at South West Rocks in NSW, Oz.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned that everyone deserves a second chance; sometimes the result will surprise you. And when others try to get you down, rise above. I haven't traveled as much as I want to, but I am open and willing to learn anything. And I would love to improve my surf skills.
