: About Me

I am a 35 year old single father of two from Minnesota who happened upon Helium by accident one day while trying to come up with ideas for starting a blog. I had come to a point in my life where I was in need of a change and I thought writing a blog would be a good outlet/tool for me to express myself and speak freely.

Once I learned I could actually make sense with my writing I started to really enjoy it. Once I graduated I sort of lost that outlet I had in writing. I am looking forward to discovering all it has to offer, even though I am not doing this for the money but more so for the outlet it creates for me seeing the pennies build up in my earnings page is fun.

I heard a few different explanations such as "it's a game", "it's like hide and seek", "it's a contest" but the one statement that really caught my attention and ultimately got me hooked was "it's like a treasure hunt". As a dreamer with a passion for adventure, the outdoors, and technology I was instantly infatuated with geocaching as it allowed me to combine all of my passions into one wonderful activity. First off is the Technology without which this pastime would not be possible. Two ne...
