I swear, if I use our experience as a joke in my stand up, I will not use your name.

I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!

I balance my work life of Oracle/SAP guru with side projects like stand up comedy and bike riding around Austin's greenbelts. I have a heavily stamped passport that has taken me to 21 countries including Australia, Thailand, Russia, France, and Spain to mention a few.My philosophy about traveling: 1. Act as though you are a guest in someone's home when you visit their country. 2. Try to go with the flow, without being a victim. 3. Research research research 4. Learn to say please and thank you in the languages of your destination. It goes a long way. 5. Make lists (ha ha ha).
