Around three years ago, I realized I wanted to experience something outside of my career-driven lifestyle. After many experiments, I temporarily walked away from a successful career in Information Technology in early 2010 to focus on exploring the world, raising money for charity, and inspiring others through my writing and photography. I've tasted the salt of four oceans and have been treated in hospitals on four continents. I have broken bones, dislocated joints, or been stitched up on nearly every part of my body. I've visited over thirty countries and met astonishing people from all walks of life. I refuse to be afraid of life, and I'm thirsty for more. After spending two years traveling the world alone I decided to return home and search for an exciting team of people to work with to change things in the corporate space. I'm currently applying the lessons I learned adventuring in the business world while preparing myself for my next series of adventures.
