CURRENT MISSION

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

ABOUT ME

22 years old, I love to travel and spend time outdoors. I graduated this last spring with majors in geology and music. I love to play music, be goofy, play soccer and frisbee, and explore nature! This summer I had the trip of a lifetime paddling down the Mississippi River with my best friend in the world. Stories are one of my favorite past times and I'm a huge fan of card games. I love pets (especially puppies)!

PHILOSOPHY

dream big! Do whatever it is you love doing and let other people do their thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer (2014), my best friend and I canoed the length of the Mississippi River from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. The trip took 77 days, and was an absolute ball. I have never experienced so much hospitality as along the river. The people you meet, i tell ya.

Had the amazing opportunity to spend 40 days with 5 other boys canoeing the Coppermine River to the Arctic Ocean in Nunavut, Canada. Best experience of my life. Ran with the caribou, lived with the grizzly bears, slept beneath the stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm... I could try to teach you some songs I know! Or I can teach you the Chilean boot dance. I love learning! Graduated, but intending on grad school...I would love to learn more about computers and languages.
