A few more things you can expect to learn about me:
TRAVELER - As you may have learned from my Basics page, I have done a lot of travel, and moved around a lot. This is super important to me because I believe it's the best way to build and maintain a universal mindset; one that transcends your own bubble/world, and acknowledges that vastly different lifestyles and experiences of individuals all around the world.
SAILING - A couple years ago I bought a 30-foot Catalina sailboat. Initially, I lived on it seeking a new experience. It was a lot of fun, but eventually I moved into an apartment just down the street next to the ocean. I still keep the boat and try to get out on the water whether it's 2PM or 2AM.
AGRICULTURE - I own a small business that does commercial agricultural trade out of West Africa. This has been a crazy and amazing venture, which I'm quite excited to see expand into something much bigger.
READING - I thoroughly enjoy reading, but have less time than I would like to dedicate to it (workaholic...). That said, I'm an avid consumer of non-fiction and (auto)biographies. I genuinely love learning about people and their journeys. Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine!
WORKING OUT - I don't believe in holding regrets, but one I have yet to kick is not taking fitness more seriously earlier in my life. A little more than 2 years ago I started working out every day at F45 (a HIIT style workout). This was one of the best decisions I've made in the last 2 years. Your body is what carries you through this life, so if you want it to last longer, take care of it. It has become such a routine now, that if I don't workout in the morning, it can easily throw off my whole day.
ACTIVE OUTDOOR LIFE - My workouts are indoor, but I very much enjoy being outside and being active. I have enough backpacking gear to supply a small village. If I just look at the gear I have in my closets, in a moment's notice I can be ready to:
- Hike
- Swim
- Paddleboard
- Kayak
- Surf
- Camp
- Backpack
- Rock climb
- Ski
- Snowshoe
- Play soccer (indoor & outdoor)
- Play tennis
- Cycle (road)
- Box
- Yoga
Like most things, I constantly feel like I don't have enough time, but I'm the type of guy that wants to do everything, so not having enough time is inescapable.
COSTUMES - I have a lot of them. I enjoy dressing up around the holidays, for karaoke, and random events. Costume parties are the best! I've managed to collect 3 big bins full of costumes, plus 3 different ride ons. Let's do this!
