ABOUT ME

Grew up in the mountains of Colorado, spent a year living in Switzerland, then moved to Vermont to finish my education where I still reside.

Basically, I love the outdoors and travel. I'm a super laid back person who is happiest being surrounded by nature with a good book, good beer, and good people.

When i'm not working I am usually hiking, camping, rock climbing, scuba diving, surfing, snowboarding, or sharing stories with the people I meet along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share
