What do you want to be when you grow up? That is the question faced by all as we embark on that awkward struggle from teenager to adult. Believe me, I spent too much time trying to answer that question.

I spent some time fighting forest fires before moving on to my 'career' as a carpenter. But upon reflection, these were just 'jobs' -- my true 'profession' is traveling.

Since I was a kid I have had 'wanderlust,' or 'itchy feet,' or whatever you want to call it. Those other jobs were just a means to fund my true passion.

In 2004 I decided it was time to dedicate myself to my profession, and Videography was a natural fit. I could go to all the places I love to go and share my stories in a new way.

I hope you like my work and I hope you enjoy sharing my adventures. Travel on!
