Biography

I’ve visited 16 countries having lived overseas twice (Prague and Copenhagen). For the past 5+ years I’ve been a nomad where I set out to visit all 50 states. To qualify as visiting a state I gave myself the following two criteria: 1) Spend at least one night and 2) Have a memorable experience.

As of January 2018 when I set my 50 state goal I had been New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Florida, Virginia, Texas, New Mexico, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, California and Hawaii.

My first road trip in May of 2018 added Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. (now up to 26 states)

My second road trip in February 2019 added Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and West Virginia. (now up to 31 states)

My third road trip in September 2019 added Arkansas and Oklahoma. (now up to 33 states)

My 4th road trip in January 2020 added Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. (now up to 40 states)

My 5th road trip in May 2021 added Delaware. (now up to 41 states)

My 6th road trip in February & March 2022 added Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. (now up to 49 states)

And last but not least I visited Alaska in August 2023. Goal accomplished!
