One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Rothbury 2008
-Snowboarding the Rocky Mountains for the first time in Utah @ Snowbird, then really topping the initial awe of that was hiking over an hour to an untouched bowl @ Canyons the next day and tearing down a fresh line.
-Drove from New York to Alaska and back... alone, taking time to stop lots of places in between. Probably the best thing I've ever done. This kicked off 7 North American Transcontinental roadtrips completed in 15 months from May 2012 - August 2013 which finished with making it from Miami to San Francisco in 52 hours. I miss it enamorously.

Teach, Learn, Share

You'll learn more traveling than you ever will in any classroom.

I'd be knowledgeable to teach others (should one solicit): Snowboarding, cuing up and fine tuning your intuition, and miscellaneous drug/healthcare info. I've got a high functioning memory for details, as a result of being beat over the head with the importance of paying attention to details growing up.

My only faith is in that of human will; it is the most powerful medicine, force for change, marvel of science, and what separates us from animals. I'm a man of science, logic, and deduction; and I honestly believe we can direct our own destiny, even on a genetic level. Mind over matter. You manifest your reality.
