In 2017 I lived in North Dakota, Oregon, Colorado, Texas, and Minnesota.
I have been a Water Protector, a bartender, a raft guide, and a photographer, in that same time frame.
Before the past year I was mostly just a west coaster, but have added 50,000 miles to my car and been to at least 15 more states than I had in 2016.
Planning on staying in Minneapolis and going back to school, but still traveling as the opportunity arises.

(more detailed version of the above)

Originally from Bend, Or, moved to Portland in 2013 to attend PSU for a few years. In November of 2016 I went to North Dakota to stand with the water protectors there. I left in January to go to DC for the Womens' March and subsequent actions in the aftermath of the inauguration. After spending a few weeks in DC I moved back to Bend for 3 months to work and save, before moving to Colorado to be a raft guide, towards the end of the season I started doing riverside photography. When the season ended I moved to Houston for a little over two months to do what I could in the aftermath of the hurricane, and now find myself in Minneapolis for school.
