This is mostly the reason for Vagabond Cafe. A place to share adventures and help others understand the joys of freely roaming.

My New New
Vagabond Cafe, is a work-in-progress collection of my best life adventures captured on camera. I recently spent a year camper-vanning through Europe and I feel compelled to share my experiences with the world.
Side Projects
I often get stuck tinkering with a side project or two. I get curious and start building so I can better understand. Squeeze Watch is one of those projects. I wanted to understand trading charts and linear regression algorithms so I built one myself.
I also built an animated gif music synch player called GMixr for the 2013 Tribeca Hackathon and received an honorable mention.
The Outdoors
I'm from a very large family. I grew up spending my time on the water and in the mountains. I'm always looking for new surf, hiking and sailing adventures. Love cooking and trying new recipes and building off grid adventure rigs.
