ABOUT ME

I am a perpetual student. I like to travel and see the world and I would like to backpack as many countries as I can.

I am a pilot. I love to fly, I also love to go fishing I pretty much love everything about the outdoors. I love sports and sporting events. Any excuse to have friends over for a beer is good for me. I love to party and themed parties are my favorite. I also enjoy diving and I am a PADI Divemaster.

...that others may live

PHILOSOPHY

Ignorance is the reason for hate in this world and I think that knowing different cultures by experiencing them is a way to not be ignorant. If you open your mind to the world then the world will show you things that you will be amazed with and you will also find things that repulse you. You may not have to agree with everything this world has to offer but you can at least understand why people do what they do if you attempt to learn from them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a lot of things, ask and I will tell you about the time I taught people how to jump from planes or how when I was in the Philippines I hugged a security guard because I thought he was giving me a hug when he was really frisking me.

I was in a wheelchair for 6 months and that was a humbling experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do not touch a hot stove, you will get burnt.

Its amazing what you will see if you actually took a look around.

The day you stop learning is the day you start dying.

What I live by: These things we do, that others may live

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind.

A warm house

I usually have guest toothbrushes for the travelers that forget them.
