CURRENT MISSION

finding my mission, while supporting my family in a fun career

ABOUT ME

Well, since this site is about traveling, I'll keep it mostly to that. Dad was in the Air Force, so I got to see lots of the United States. Once I hit college, my mom went to work for the Department of Defense, so I got to travel still more - Philippines, Scotland, England, Italy, France, Switzerland. All lots of fun.
My work has taken me to fun places in North America, too; both for business, and as travel rewards. Caribbean cruises, Vancouver, Colorado, Baltimore, Philly, Niagara Falls, Cancun, Albuquerque, and lots more.
In January 2011, my (then) wife and I spent two weeks in Israel; got lots of photos from that.
Married, frequently travel solo.
I've got a sharp wit; I love to quote old movies and pop music lines when the situation calls for it, some of them a little obscure (I've got a better than average memory, but it's still subject to epic fails - showed up the airport both a day early once and a day late once. Whew.) I'm decent cook, so if I have to "earn my keep" I'm good in the kitchen, and I tend to leave behind gifts from Cutco - I worked for them for 17 years, and I still have plenty of small items left over that I like to share with my friends!

PHILOSOPHY

Still fine tuning that.
