About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make life an adventure and share that with good people!

ABOUT ME

I'm a married, caffeine-powered, procrastinating and regular (can't really use the world normal!) Christian guy with a love for the outdoors, especially mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events" - Robert A Heinlein

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Sentinel in the Drakensberg via a spectacular route on its north face - no words can describe the feeling of being alive and the exhilaration you experience up there.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I have the time, I can show you around, take you hiking or climbing, or teach you the basics of playing guitar (as if I know what they are...).

There are loads you can teach me that I'll be interested in, especially in the fields of languages, traveling, food, and music (to name but a very few!).
