Ballad to a more complete package ~
‘Been around 47 states once, lived in 3 countries and continents, realized the sun will never set on the places I called home. Visited 6 continents and 42 countries, I even once traveled and revisited 30 of them within the time of a year. I’m a captain, lifeguard, author, artist, musician, filmmaker, solo backpacker, and pilot. There ain’t nothing I can’t do, no sky too high, no sea too rough, no muff too tough. Learned a lot of lessons in my life, versatility and values are everything. Did it my way and never compromised on what I stand for. Anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing, moderations for cowards. I’m a passionate filmmaker, I’m a trained pilot, I’m the most well traveled solo backpacker you may know. So if you’re feeling behind then you better run, because this guy’s been there, done that, and it’s going back for more, cheers mate.’

Some little truth in life:
Leap and the net will appear.
If you feel it, chase it.
Don’t be careful, be confident.
Pain is temporary, but films are forever.
The world is a book, and those who don’t travel, read only a page.
