I realize, to a certain extent, a potential employer might like to know at least a little about me and my interests to see if I’d be a good culture fit with their company. One thing I can share is that I enjoy the outdoors with my family.

Getting way off the beaten path weeds-out the average guy while providing an opportunity to take-in some incredible views of untamed places both offshore and off-road.

Our latest Land Cruiser—now well over 300K miles—has gotten us to some epic spots where we’ve made lasting memories. Here are just a few of our most special trips (Sedona, the Sequoias, Courtright Reservoir, Anza-Borrego, and Sandstone Canyon).

We’ve also enjoyed on two wheels the desert landscape (not to mention countless trips to the motocross tracks where I was a one-man pit crew for our only son). I’ve enjoyed passing down to him a now shared love of dirt bikes.
