👋 Greetings

🏠 I’m from the USA born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, grew up in Denver, Colorado, and now living in Prague, Czech Republic for 4 years.

📚 I have a Bachelors of Environmental Design in Architecture from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a Masters of Architecture and Urbanism from the Architectural Institute in Prague.

✈️ My current home base is Prague while I’m traveling around - 23 countries so far. In the USA, I have traveled around 17 states, many cities, and many national parks.

🏙 I am passionate about architecture, cities, and urbanism. I view the built environment as a tool for mass manipulation. The best way to understand a city is to walk through and explore it.

⛰ I am a nature enthusiast - I am happy outdoors. I'm a big fan of national parks, mountains, lakes, and forests. Get your ass in nature.

😎 During my free time I enjoy reading, photography, running, yoga, swimming, meditation, conversations, beer, food, walks, coffee, and live music.

🌎 The world is an amazing place. Show or share anything about you or where you come from.

💥 Feel free to DM with anything more you would like to know about me or wherever I’m at. I am open to networking, building friendships, and conversations.

🍻 Cheers
