CURRENT MISSION

Living and learning in Columbus, OH after living in Denver, CO and Pittsburgh, PA for some time.

ABOUT ME

Pitt grad and paramedic that loves living in the city but really belongs in nature. Born and raised Buffalonian with a bit of Denver, Pittsburgh and Boston in me. Relaxed but always down for an adventure. I started in Boy Scouts then progressed to hiking, backpacking, skiing and fishing. I also love listening to music, playing soccer, sampling anything with the word 'beer' in it and hearing people's stories. My second home is an ambulance.

PHILOSOPHY

Be considerate to everyone and have a little faith.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll gladly teach you what I can about emergency medicine and wildness survival. I was a boy scout until I turned 18 and have been camping and backpacking since. I also am pretty handy with technology and computers and would gladly take a shot at hardware or software isssues.
