Kayaker, climber, skier, engineer. I love being outside, and I love meeting new people.

I recently got married to my amazing partner in crime, Olivia. We recently moved to Portland, OR (we were in New Hampshire for 3 years before that). We're taking some time off before she starts her next job to adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: Anything! I love learning new things, be they small or large.

Teach: Want to learn to be an engineer? *nervous laughter*
Also, some crazy person certified me to teach whitewater kayaking...so if you have boats and gear I can teach you how to roll.
