About Me me
I am a former information security consultant and that role involved almost constant travel within the US and internationally. I usually managed to squeeze in some personal time if I was on the road for work so I've been fortunate to explore many cities around the world and some of the areas outside those cities. These days I still work in information security but my consulting days are over so I spend more time traveling purely for recreation rather than work.

My current main adventure rig for long-term expeditions out west is a Chevy Colorado ZR2 pulling a 19' Airstream. I also have a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle set up in Class 11 style (oversized off-road tires but otherwise mostly stock) stashed in San Diego. Many of my previous adventures were on the back of a BMW G650GS motorcycle that met a sad end passing through a deer on Interstate 90 in Montana.

For seaborne adventures I have 41' sailboat, currently moored in Boston Harbor. I lived aboard her for about 3 years when I wasn't traveling on my motorcycle.

These days, when I'm not traveling, I live in a cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where hiking, climbing, skiing, and canoeing are all just a few minutes away.

My inner 13 year old is very disappointed in that I no longer spend sufficient time playing video games due to these other activities.
