About Me

CURRENT MISSION

wandering the mountains of Fiordland, taking a helicopter in for week long solo missions to protect native birds of NZ like takahe and kiwi

PHILOSOPHY

learning to appreciate every moment of existence...to keep that sense of wonder...that intense connection reinforced with each glance into the depth of the night sky...a feeling that calms the soul and inspires the mind...so that you take each day at a time...
