Travelling this journey we call life, striving to enjoy the moments, not sweating the small stuff. The mountains are my happy place; my family and friends, my rocks. My passions drive me and bring me joy: research, books, writing, hiking, vegan lifestyle, health & well being, cooking, philosophy, travel, crypto, blockchain, photography, technological advances, education, music, NFL, last but not least my children :-) Sharing my passions and helping others in the process keeps me humble.
