CURRENT MISSION

I am planning a trip through Europe and want to meet as many people as possible, experience all the culture I can, and create memories that last a lifetime.

ABOUT ME

I like to listen to the world, and smell the air. Sometimes I swear I can travel through time just with a smell. Of course I love travel and the outdoors, sometimes I'll take my hammock tent 5 minutes down the road and sleep in the forest by the lake. I think my inner being has an implicit connection with lake Michigan.
I've really been getting into indoor climbing lately, but need to get outdoors! I love bouldering. I also like playing music. Nothing special but I enjoy playing the drums and guitar, sometimes at the same time.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to try and live life in a sort of controlled chaos way. I realize I can't control everything but I make sure I actively choose the things I can control.

Interests

Rock climbing, snowboarding, music, good people, food, gardening, drums, running, travel, sunsets and sunrises, camping, canoeing, rafting, urban exploration, kiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding at Mt. Bohemia in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's no Breck, or A-Basin but it has some of the greatest back-country I've been able to board on.
Visiting Hawaii and trying to surf for the first time in my life. It is so much harder than it looks but I enjoyed every minute. Plus all the wild chickens roaming around on Kaua'i was pretty interesting.
