    Achievements

    I rode my motorcycle from San Francisco to Ushuaia, Argentina, in a journey spanning nine months, 14 countries, and 25,000 miles. Afterwards, I married a woman that I met in Colombia on the way south, and then I lived in MedellĂ­n for a year. I came back from this trip just a year ago.

    My personality is such that if I'm not creating something amazing, and I'm not doing anything awesome, then I'm going to become restless. I feel that I always need to be challenging myself to do better, to be achieving more, and to be learning and improving.
