My mantra: work hard and play harder. Life is an adventure, dig it! All about living life to it's fullest where friends will always come first. Lead somewhat of a fairy tale life. Sometimes find it hard to believe the things I get to see and do.Bail to the four corners of the planet whenever possible. Worked six months last year, travelled six; Europe, Asia, Australia, the world is my playground.My favorite places: Ibiza, Italy, Vanuatu, Costa Rica, Australia, the Louve, Thailand and Vegas. Have swam in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic Oceans, the Caribbean and the Med too. Havn't found water yet I didn't like . Walked on every continent except Antarctica (soon). Experienced living in Spain, Greece, Kuwait, and travelled throughout thirty two countries thus far, all adding something to my life.
Definitely a "glass half full" kind of person with an positive outlook on everything. Permanently happy and always optimistic, extremely driven, high energy, unique, wholehearted, non judgemental, certainly mischievous, mildly metro sexual and perhaps a bit vain, but completely at home in the outdoors as well. Keep it healthy (for the most part), eat well, at the gym six days a week, bike 150 miles, run 20 and swim 10 every week, time permitting. Have to be on top of my game, think you can keep up?
Grew up working on commercial fishing boats in Alaska(14 seasons, starting when I was 12), worked in zoos early on where I spent my days swimming with killer whales, dolphins and sharks on a daily basis, spent a few years more collecting live sharks for public aquaria(now just a hobby), presently work in underwater heavy construction and subsea engineering(commercial diving).Navy construction, oil platforms, bridges, dams, ships, subsea pipelines, etc. I have more wetsuits than most people have socks.
I rather enjoy having the odds stacked heavily against me and beating them.Don't tell me something is impossible, it will only provoke my desire to prove you wrong! Impossibilities are conjured up by small minds and quitters! "Make every obstacle an opportunity".Trying to work a program with the Make a Wish Foundation to fulfill terminally ill children's hopes of swimming with their favorite marine animals. Someone needs to hold their hand, can't think of anyone more qualified. Other items are in the works as well, time will unfold them.
