Moved to Tucson, AZ. What?! My 1st winter ever without any snow...

May-2014
Back in Idaho for the summer. Man I love this place.

October-2013
Working in Logan, UT for a few months. Terrible inversions but great snow.

March-2013
Idaho is cold, so I rode my bike to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. Very warm there!

Aug-2012
Graduated college. Yay. Worked for the Forest Service all summer hiking and identifying plants. Yay!

Aug-2011
Awesome summer "living" in Boise, ID. Traveling to theCochella Valley, the deserts of S. Idaho, Sawtooth Music Festival, and the Frank Church Wilderness.

Jan-2010
Now living on the Palouse of Moscow, Idaho. Studying Ecology at University of Idaho.

Oct-2009

I'm currently in the middle of a 6 month break between working in Germany and starting school somewhere in the Western USA. I just finished riding my mountain bike 1200 miles across Colorado and New Mexico. I also road tripped around the western US and Alaska deciding where to go back to school.

July-2009
The work is over! I'm returning to Reno in the middle of August where I will have 6 months off.

Sep-2008
I'm living and working in Hamburg, Germany for an indefinite amount of time. My goal here is to see and experience new things, see most of Europe, meet and have fun with new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

By far my favorite movie is Fight Club. I'm always on the lookout for a book that isn't some mystery unfolded over 700 pages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Top of Angels Landing in Zion National Park
-Wine and beer on the beach in Italy
-Hanging out the door of a train through Mumbai
-Spending 6 hours climbing a pass on my mountain bike just to spend the night in a tent and do it again the next day

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a last minute traveler that is great at planning things out, ask me about that.
