Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a free spirited college student that enjoys friendships and the more simple things in life, and I love bikes. I'm currently playing banjo/bass in a southern folk band, go to school at the University of North Texas, and recently was hired to Hot Box Pizza for advertising and marketing.
- Birthday:
- April 26, 1989
- Why I'm involved in Venture Expeditions:
- I'm involving myself with Venture Expeditions and IJM because there is a lurking evil occurring in the world that most people are unaware of, modern day slavery. These two companies are leaders of an effort to end slavery and human trafficking through activism and promoting awareness.
I look forward to this expedition fondly as a time to grow spiritually, help some fellow humans in need, and hopefully excite future activists.

7-24/25 Rest day in wacky Milwaukee/Money makin day in Milwaukee
24- Feels so good to veg out and do nothing. I was close to stabbing
Karl when he woke me up with an air horn from a nap. Besides watching
Inception and taking a short jog I just loafed around the Salter's house
and loved it.
25- We did a lot of Just + Hope reppin' today and I think we were able
to raise a lot of money and tell a bunch of people about the cause. I
was a bit grumpy during the morning because I was getting tired of
churchin it up. It… Continue

7-23 Plymouth> Milwaukee, WI
We postponed our ride till after lunch and I'm glad we did because we
had clear skies and were able to enjoy the scenery much more. I was
pretty disappointed with how dingy Milwaukee was, hopefully the whole
town wasn't as ghetto as what we rode through. It was a fun ride knowing
we were going to a resting weekend at a teammate's house. I also felt
more at home riding through a city, rather than passing corn fields all
day.

7-22 Green Bay>Plymouth, WI
This was probably the most frustrating and miserable day so far. The
first few miles weren't too bad and the rain was pretty bearable until I
got a front flat, rain strengthened, and the head wind got
progressively stronger. By the last few hills I was climbing them slower
than I could have walked up them. Any truck that passed by I would put
on my most miserable face hoping they would give me a ride. I yelled my
way up the last hill and made it to the amazing… Continue

7-21 Wausau> Green Bay, WI
Doyle and I took sweep today which was fun taking a relaxed pace and
stopping to look at stuff. I'm so glad he is on this trip, he has kept
me smiling, focusing on God, and reminding me to live life with purpose.
Even though we went 105 miles it was a real easy day with the tailwind.
Once we got to our host home I realized how great it has been being
totally removed from the media. People never realized how saturated they
are by what they see and hear and how… Continue
