HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE!
The hike of a lifetime!
Ka-au crater hike, in Oahu Hawaii. One of the most beautiful difficult hikes i have ever done! 6 hours round trip will really get your blood pumping, especially with that heat and humidity. trudging through the jungle, and mud to get to the crater seemed almost impossible! For this hike we had to climb up 3 waterfalls and trecherous slippery cliffs! insane.. People will always tell you that Hawaii is beautiful, but what they dont really tell you is that everywhere you look Hawaii is trying to kill you! With such amazing beauty comes insane dangers i guess!
What i love to do
While i was stationed in hawaii, i loved to do many things. Hiking was a huge thing for me, followed by spear fishing, kayak surfing (kayak because i cant surf on an actual surf board to save my life!) and flying!
Hawaii offered it all
From hiking up the pillbox hike in Lani kai....
To spearfishing with my best friends in North Shore, we did it all!
(i know i got the smallest one that day.... dont rub it in my face!)
Good thing we got this bad boy to save a different day!
Fishing
Fishing has always been one of my favotire things to do, weather it be in Florida, Texas, or Washington state i dont care what time it is or what the weather is like, i could always fish! But in Hawaii, the views were like no other.

Kayak Surfing
One of the best workouts i have ever done, but one of the scariest times i have ever had in Hawaii! Right after i took this picture, i went out by myself about half a mile off shore to catch some waves. The kayak i had was a 13ft fishing kayak, with two compartments to store fish in. Being the smart guy i am, the front storage compartment wasnt sealed and i flipped on my kayak on a huge wave and oop! The kayak sank to the bottom!! Lukily i had my spearfishing gear in the back of the kayak (as you can see in the picture) so i put the mastk and my fins on, attached my Spear fishing gun fishing line to the kayak and had to drag the kayak on the ocean floor, all the way into shore!
My Job
Being an Aircrewman in the Navy is not an easy job. But when there are perks, oh the perks are huge! I have been able to fly all over the world.
From flying the P-3C in Hawaii
To the most southern part in the Entire U.S.A! the very bottom of The Big Island, Hawaii.
All the way to

- Greece
- Germany
- Romania
- Iceland
This was taken super close to where they filmed some of the Game of thrones!
- Spain
I spend the 4th of July flying with my crew from Spain!
My life now
Sometimes i often hear people say they dont want kids because they want to travel and "LIVE" their life... And i will always look at them weird..
My life now is filled with love, happiness and family. My favorite thing now in the world is coming home from work, kissing my wife and holding my daughter.
I dont need to go anywhere else in the world to make memories, i can sit down on my couch with my beautiful family and think every time, this is the happiest i have ever been. Sure, i would love to fish. Sure i would love to ski! but if it isnt with them, it isnt worth doing.

Hawaii had some great hikes. I loved (hated at the time) the koko head crater hike. We had terrible timing and climbed in the middle of the day when the temperature was super hot. But it was definitely worth it for the view when we got to the top.
You're so blessed to have a beautiful family at home. Best of luck
thanks! and yeah, i went on a few that it rained right in the middle and made the ledges so slippy and just a terrible idea to try to go any further! and thanks! means a lot when people leave some freaking nice comments! hahaha thanks
That definitely sounds dangerous. Couldn't imagine hiking Kokohead crater while raining. I heard of a hike called stairway to heaven but it was banned due to being too dangerous. I love the view from the top though, so worth it once you actually make it
