I love learning, exploring, and adventuring in the outdoors. I strongly believe in being positive and helping other people. For work I teach youth how to camp, hike, canoe, and work as a team. Sometimes I teach science too. Life on Earth is beautiful and I am here to savor the experience and to serve others in meaningful ways.
