Most Memorable Travel Experience
Too many to name, I travel for work so there are a few times I have almost died (almost getting attacked by a griz in Alaska, tower pieces falling on me in Wyoming). Funny times like watching the stoned bicyclist falling on his face in Amsterdam. Then there are always the moving times like New years eve's in Frankfurt and Paris, and going to Hawaii and seeing the Pipe Masters with my wife.

A toast:
May you know peace,
So your soul will know where to rest
May you see weakness,
So you will know when to be strong
May you feel pain,
But only so that you will learn
Mostly, may you know Love,
So when death does come, you will not be afraid.
I grew up in a small town in Oregon. I was always the kid that was too distracted at recess watching the airplanes and wondering where they were going, what the people on that plane were going to do when they got there. Ever since I was young it has always been about where I was going and what I was going to see next. The world outside of my small little town always held wonders.
Now that I am grown and have seen a lot of the world I know what the rest of the world is doing, and I can't wait to experience it more. This time I'll be sharing my love of travel with my wife and two beautiful children. I still catch myself at work stopping in the middle of my job to look at an airplane passing by, guess that little boy never really grew up.
