A lover of the outdoors, he has had a passion for fishing, hunting, and hiking from a young age. In addition, it is about a life well-lived where everyday happenings are viewed as adventures often filled with humor. Many journeys are planned, but often they veer from the path in unexpected ways that are even better than were originally intended. Hopefully, O'Connor's own stories will inspire others to reminisce about their own life in the spirit of adventure.
