“Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.” – Mr. Magorium

When I was a kid, my mom did not tolerate boredom. Whenever me or one of my siblings whined to her that we were bored, her response was always: “Being bored is an insult to yourself.”

While I absolutely hated that as a kid, it’s definitely something I never forgot. Since childhood, I haven’t stopped discovering or trying new things. My adventures have led to jumping out of planes, taking photos at the Olympic Games and World Cups, taking part in a 202-mile relay race, skiing down 10,000 foot mountains, diving to the bottom of the ocean and more.
