Actually, let's all take some time to enjoy life a bit since it goes too fast.... k now back to business... I grew up in Mesa, Arizona and attended college at Arizona State University (BS Biology), Go SunDevils! Greater Phoenix area is the only place that feels like home to me. With that said, I do love exploring other states and countries, I love to travel and experience new cultures, and have new adventures. Something I learned with the few travels I have under my belt, is that when you think you've seen it all, Mother Nature never seems to disappoint with her shock and awe. So even though AZ will probably be my only home, I hope I can continue to keep exploring the globe, life, and it's mysteries forever. I have some a great many friends, some best friends, and a small family. I want to share something with you, They are worth more than their weight in gold, actually, they are worth more than all the gold in the world. Some people find it easy to make friends, in fact, I am lucky to be one of those people. But there's a difference between "friends" and True Friends. True Friends are rare, and when you find one do everything you can to keep them in your life. Yes, you will have your riffs with them, but true friends know how to forgive, and will always be there for you, beside you through anything. As for family, you can't always pick who you get, however, the love and bond family has is like no other. My father is my hero. I know not all families are close or on good terms, but for me, you don't give up on family and they don't give up on you.

Now time to share some of the other things I value in my life besides nature, friends, family. Music, my pets, the sun on my face and fresh air in my lungs (i.e. sports, riding bikes, camping, and so much more), books that take over your mind and imagination, drawing, painting, drafting, pretty much any art, inventing things, having great conversation, people watching, and being able to self reflect.

Right now, I see myself as an explorer and a believer in possibility. Some may call me a dreamer, but I feel that the moment we give up on something is when we except defeat. I'm not afraid to lose, but I will never be defeated. Just because people say something can't be done, it doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Also, be and let be in life. I don't want to preach or tell people how to live their lives, but all I ask is that you please let me live mine by my terms in return.Well, Life is calling my name so need to get going. To all of those that read this, best of luck to you and your travels during whatever pursuit of happiness you are on. I hope you find it.
