About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backcountry carpenter and wilderness conservation

ABOUT ME

Nomadic since birth. Currently, I am based full-time in Alaska. Beers, trails, and carpentry.

PHILOSOPHY

People and community matter more than anything. Trying to balance life between travelling, living in wilderness, and developing a career that I can rely on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Told the suburbs to fuck off at a very young age.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think there is nothing more beautiful than being able to watch someone do, whatever it may be, that which they can turn into an art form. Whether its painting or sawing a tree, being a writer or being a stone mason is irrelevant. Seeing someone become a master at something is a great joy of my life. I have taught rock-structure building skills and alpine conservation for years now and I love seeing my crew members suddenly become the fulfilled artists that they always have had the potential to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll always have a couch and some stories. I hope you have some as well. I'm not keyed into having to entertain a surfer, so if you just need some shelter and solo time just let me know.
