CURRENT MISSION

Thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

I was born and raised in Chicago, IL -- family moved to a rural town at the age of five. I have lived and worked at residential summer camps for the last nine summers. Supporting the Chicago Fire Soccer Club is a major part of my life I also enjoy watching the Da Bears and Da Bulls play. I am always game for a new adventure. I live a drug free lifestyle.

PHILOSOPHY

"Only fools run rapids, say the Indians, but I know this: as long as there are young men with the light of adventure in their eyes and a touch of wildness in their souls, rapids will be run. And when I hear tales of smashed canoes and lives as well, though I join in the chorus of condemnation of the fools who take such chances, deep in my heart I understand and bid them bon voyage. I have seen what happens when food and equipment are lost far from civilization and I know what it takes to traverse a wilderness where they are no trails but the waterways themselves. The elements of chance and danger are wonderful and frightening to experience and, though I bemoan the reckless of youth, I wonder what the world would be like without it. I know it is wrong, but I am for the spirit that makes young men do the things they do. I am for the glory that they know." --Sigurd Olson
