I spent the first part of my life on the east coast, but it looks like the second will be out west.  Just like life on the east coast, I'm a bit salty, traditional, and honest... but California has also taught me that letting your guard down opens many of life's opportunities. 

My parents started their lives together making candles and dreaming about the future...they created a great life for my brother and I. Now that I'm a husband (and a Dad) I'm just trying to live a life full of adventure, love, laughter, and respect.  It's a work in progress...but isn't everything?

• The feeling right before you dive into cold water...there's no going back.
• Carrying a sleeping kid in from the car.
• Surfing in the pouring rain.
• Watching UCONN basketball, anytime.
• Sitting on a wall with friends
• The first time I told Kate I loved her and she thought I was talking about Target. 
• Rolling a pizza cutter through a homemade pie.
• Walking too far up a volcano.
• Surfing into the sunset.
