Summary

Passionate adventurer, explorer, and ever so slightly evolving into a "natural born" storyteller, I broke the mold of my small town roots to embark on a journey to see the world, immerse myself in new cultures and exponentially gain what you may claim as "life experience". This experience has carried me to most corners of the world and allowed me to see, touch, and feel things most others would dare to imagine. My travels have allowed me to dig to a deeper part of myself and release what was truly trapped, becoming the person I actually wanted to be. This has lead me to shaking hands with the most influential people in the world and building relationships that will last more than a lifetime, of course all while surfing the best waves in the world, diving the clearest waters, eating the freshest fish, climbing the sharpest mountains, and motoring to the next "most remote" location. In the end, I have come to realize that I am a student of this world and should approach each opportunity with humility, and always remember that what hasn't been learned can always be taught.
