Origin Story

I'm an explorer. When most people graduate college, they look for a career. I looked for adventure. I drove 2,000 miles to Boston, sold my car at a car wash, flew to Europe, fell in love, meandered and soaked in the world and came back to the States to continue an iterative, improvisational life. I've never looked back.
