I designed my career around travel because I love to do it so much.  Living in Vegas is convenient as it's easy to get in and out and I can drive most of the SW US easily.  One of my hobbies is ballparks, fields and arenas.  I've been to 23 different Major League Baseball parks (21 active, 2 retired) as well as many hockey, football and basketball venues.  

So far in 2015 i've been to:

• San Diego
• Los Angeles
• Boston (for St. Patty's Day)
• New Orleans
• Bakersfield
• Big Sur
• Ventura
• Fort Myers
• Naples
• Key West
• Minneapolis/St. Paul
• Fon Du Lac
• Green Bay
• Solvang
• Lake Arrowhead
