About Me

Whats up everyone. I am a new resident of portland, OR. Back to the Northwest baby. I live here by myself but have a beautiful baby boy named Westyn, who also resides here. I love adventure. lots of time that involves traveling to far off places such as Jamaica, Thailand, Japan, Isreal, Hawaii etc.I love culture + being exposed to third world simplicity where people aren't so material. Next favorite would be backbacking. For me, there is nothing like carrying your world on your shoulders and spending a few days in solitude deep in the woods. The forest is my church/cathedral, my place to unwind. In the winter snowboarding and skiing keep me from being a hermit. Music is also a necessity for daily living. sometimes I even like cruzing down the road jammin to cheesy ass 80's and 90's music. However, there is nothing like seeing a Widespread Panic show deep in the south. Other favorites include Talking Heads, Bob Marley, Steve Kimock, Willy Nelson, Grateful Dead, CSNY, and ya, some N.W.A or Snoop Dog never hurts.
