Purpose

This website was designed to stay in touch with the many friends and family who are a world apart. I feel as if I am one of the luckiest people on earth for all the opportunities I have had, but I also feel the effects of being separated from the people I care about for long periods of time. This website allows others to stay in touch with me and be a part of my every day life. There are blog postings that include everything from mundane daily recounts to exciting travels to the some of the world's more exotic destinations. I have done my best to upload interesting photos, but if you have an interest in a specific place and want to see more please do not hesitate to enquire. Likewise, if you have any questions, comments, or just want to say hello I would love to hear from you. Please do not be shy.

A Quick Word...

The greatest asset to the United States, and the one with which I most strongly associate, is the resolute belief that dreams are attainable. I have come to learn that this mentality is not universally shared, and it certainly is not practiced with as much fervor as it deserves. It is a real shame because human progress always has been and always will be driven by man’s ability to bring dreams to life. I hope that the experiences I have had and the triumphs I have been a part of demonstrate that perseverance pays off, and magic is not just the stuff of movies.
