One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America so I have been on tons of camping and hiking trips. I really enjoyed white water rafting down the Colorado River. Just this summer I was able to attend an event and meet President Obama. I also happened to be right by Stone Wall Bar in NYC when marriage equality passed. It was a very emotional and exciting time. I was blessed to experience it.
