Biography
Hello, I was born in Minneapolis, MN, grew up in Port St. Lucie, FL. I’ve lived all over Florida in Orlando, Miami, Fort Myers, and now Lake Wales. I have family up in Minnesota so we drove all the way from Florida to Minnesota several different ways which covered many states. We also drove up to Washington, DC for spring break one year and covered the southeast. We also went to Mount Rushmore to cover South Dakota, we flew to Las Vegas with my Dads boss and covered Nevada and then went to the Grand Canyon to cover Arizona. My Dad took me to Disneyland, and took a bus tour in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Hollywood, etc so that’s how I covered California. I became a truck driver and drove over the road for 9 months which only helped me get 10 states that I hadn’t visited on vacation with a car or plane. Mainly the Northeast besides 3 states that I’ve only been in a truck. I took my Mom up for her 60th birthday to New England to cover the states that I missed in the truck. The maple tree color in autumn is amazing. We flew to Boston and got a rental up to Maine, Canada for little bit, New Hampshire, & Vermont. I moved to Dallas, TX for 7 months, while on my birthday, I took a car trip out west to New Mexico then went to the 4 corners to cover NM, AZ, CO, & UT. The only new states were CO & UT but it was closed cause of Covid so I circled around it. I then went to Phoenix & El Paso before going back to Dallas. At this point I was only missing the entire NW United States, I then did a mega 3 week trip to the Pacific NW from the Mississippi River like Lewis & Clark but instead of St Louis, I flew to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. I got a rental car with unlimited miles of course. I took off on I-94 to North Dakota, & started with new states, and saw every capital of those states as well. I stayed in Fargo then went west to Billings, to cover Montana, then picked up my relatives from MN at the Yellowstone Airport & spent 3 nights in log cabin in Yellowstone then I dropped them back off at the airport, so Yellowstone covered Wyoming, then went to Idaho and stayed in Boise then went out to Portland & Cannon Beach where I saw the Pacific Ocean for the 2nd time after I was a small kid visiting Los Angeles in Long Beach. I went to Salem & then up to Washington to make it 48 Contiental states! I saw Mount St Helen, Olympia, and stayed in Seattle, saw the orcas in NW Washington then went back on I-90 East from Seattle to Missoula then down to Salt Lake City and saw Utah for real instead of just at the four corners, also went to Denver, took US 6 down to I-70 which is way better then I-80 through Wyoming, I heard. So I fully saw both great states of Utah & Colorado. I went up to Cheyenne to see the capital of Wyoming then went east through Nebraska to fully see Nebraska instead of the one time my dad stopped in the very SE corner to get ice cream in this tiny town so we could cover Nebraska on the way to Minnesota, I stayed in Lincoln & stopped in Omaha. I fully seen every 48 state besides California & Nevada, I would like to see both states in the northern parts, not just Los Angeles & Las Vegas. I already tripped plan to see everywhere in Alaska in August 2022, & Hawaii 7 day cruise to see 4 islands & few nights stay in hotel at Honolulu at the end of October in 2022. 50 is definitely on its way!
