- Interesting Fact: I sleep with my eyes open.
My younger years were only slightly typical. I grew up in Alamo, Ca. I went to high school, and then to College. I challenged myself, and my parents. My life has always been an adventure compared to most, but I get bored, and live for a challenge. After breezing through college I went looking for a "good job"… I found it, and was not excited about a starting salary higher than those around me. For the first day of work at my new career in California, I was in Florida, my first business call was to my new employer; that morning I would be informing him that I would not be showing up to work for him, and that I had decided I would rather work the docks in South Florida. For the next few years my life would be spent living out of a backpack, or on a boat, I chose the life of a vagrant rather than a business professional. I traveled extensively and strived to be anything but ordinary. Once back in the States, I began selling software for a successful San Francisco based company; my tolerance for the mundane life quickly diminished… I am not meant for the city, I don't do repetition. I realize on this path I will soon be amongst the throngs of ordinary people who would prefer to sit in a Starbucks, and discuss the World's problems, but never plan to do anything to help. I am on a path to becoming ordinary; the life of lavish is not for me; its time to leave the coffee shop, and cut some new trails.
My views on life are a bit unique; I see things differently than most. People often think I am a bit crazy; the majority of the world is full of cowards, afraid to make a move. Sometimes you just need to say "I don't give a turkey"! Do what your nut sack tells you, and worry about being broke after the adventure!
The Trip is irresponsible, and irrational, there is huge risk involved, and that is the motivator. No one ever accomplishes anything with out great risk. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, ONCE IS ENOUGH!
