CURRENT MISSION

Live, learn, and teach.

ABOUT ME

My parents decided to raise a kid with the travel bug, and took me on a lot of trips. It started on my dad's side of the family with a love of the outdoors and backpacking. I've spent around 400 miles on trails so far, including trips all across the US and one in Canada. I've spent about two months on personal trips to Europe, another two months in the Caribbean, and a few weeks in the Middle East.

I moved to DC after college to work in documentary television. My work has given me the chance to learn about many different subjects, and travel all across the USA and abroad on different projects. While I've been at it, I've had a great time exploring the East Coast, and living in the very young and international city that Washington DC is (it's not all like House of Cards).

In my free time I enjoy cooking tasty meals, seeing live music, and occasionally rock climbing.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's a complicated thing, luckily I have the rest of mine to figure it out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a little over week backpacking in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness in the Colorado Rockies making a 16mm film. We brought all of the processing chemistry so we could shoot, process, and edit our film in the wilderness.

At the end of the week we watched the film we'd just created on the side of a tent using a hand cranked LED projector. It was one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

All three please.
