About COnativeJM:

Born: May 29, 1981 Denver, Colorado
I hail from Denver, thus the native tag, attended the Univ. of Northern Colorado, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, with a degree in business finance. Four summers interning with Coors Brewing persuaded me to jump ship and so post-degree, I moved to South Korea and taught english, then left to live as a 'ski/snowboard bum' in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. --Do it! Track me as I backpack through central and south america over these next several months!

Hobbies:

Fitness in general, tennis and volleyball.
Books: Autobiographies (Lee Iacocca, Lance Armstrong were my last reads)
Video/Photo archiving
Cooking

Favourite places:

Home. Each place I've been to has been so unique, so basically everywhere I've been I've liked.
