After high school I moved to Boston and traveled around Europe for a couple years. I moved back to Indianapolis and decided that it was time to go to college.

I completed college around the time of the Asian tsunami. I lived in Thailand off and on for 1 1/2 years and worked at a tsunami refugee camp in Southern Thailand.

I then started a business importing jewelry and clothing from different areas of Asia, mainly Thailand and India, called Asiatic Designs. This allows me to support my travel addiction and do a business that I enjoy.

I am now living in Broadripple with Julie Nepple and continue to go on buying trips to Asia and focus on the business when I am home.
