Vacation Like A King | Video & Pics

Juggling the tasks of family and work can get pretty stressful, but the stresses of daily life can't hold a candle to the most stressful activity of all... Vacation.

When William the Conqueror (a.k.a. William the Bastard) of Normandy invented vacation in the 11th century he had hordes of subjects to make arrangements at his behest.
Travel was a breeze, with priority boarding guaranteed, and an upgrade to the penthouse with a view at the castle of his choosing. Oh to be King!

Finding Love in Africa | Video & Pics

• Have you awoken to Elephants' calls and risen with the sun on an African savannah? 
• Have you walked the sands of the Kalahari desert, and overlooked the wetlands of Namibia? 
• Have you witnessed the Zambezi River descend Victoria Falls? 
• Have you seen the Milky Way come alive and lost count of meteors as you fell asleep under the stars? 
• Have you agreed to marry 7 sisters in a small Botswanan border village?


I'm happy I can answer "Yes" to all of the above... except that last one, it still haunts me.

Cyclocross - You Can't Fake Strong (MET-Rx) | Pictures

Last December I got to participate in the "You Can't Fake Strong" marketing campaign as a Cyclocross model for MET-Rx, a sports nutrition company with a variety of products that will make you buff. 

If you haven't picked up a recent issue of Men's Fitness lately you should, or any other fitness related magazine on shelves now. You will be happy to find Yours Truly gracing a full page ad inside. 

Check out this video by MET-Rx and a few pictures from the shoot! Thank you to MET-Rx for the opportunity.

Jacksonville's beauty is hard to truly comprehend from ground level. I'm so glad I got another opportunity to view it from the air.

Catching A Flight In Boston | Bourbon & Burgers

This week I had some business travel to Boston and with a few evenings at my disposal I decided to find something worth doing outside the hotel. 

Boston, being one of the oldest cities in the United States, has a rich history worth exploring so I knew I wanted to take in a bit of history as well as experience the local culture.

After a couple Google searches and recommendations from a friend I found two spots to visit. So I set out on foot.

First Stop: ...

I'm Gonna Jump Off A Building... Literally!

Update: I've completed my repel. For the video and blog check out the link here:

Jumping off of high objects is a favorite past time of mine. The higher, the better. Whether its jumping from a plane, off a cliff into the lake, or off a rock climbing tower down a zip line its just hard for me to turn down the adrenaline rush.

My next jump is on the horizon, May 16th at 9:45am. From 32 stories up I'll be going Over The Edge of the EverBank Center in downtown Jacksonville, FL to support the Boy Scouts of America - North Florida Council.
