I graduated from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln majoring in Environmental Studies last year. Instead of starting a career right out of school my wife and I quit our jobs so we can realize our dream of travelling around the world, meeting the people in it, and doing what we can to help where needed.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musically I'm pretty diverse. I like a bit of everything, but primarily folk or post rock. I watch all kinds of movies but especially super hero/action movies and comedies. I love reading fantasy and science fiction. I will read anything by Brandon Sanderson or Tolkien. A few of my other favorites are the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss, the Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown, and A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went surfing and paragliding, each for the first time, in the same day!
