About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.

ABOUT ME

Hmm, well, I'm obsessed with hiking and backpacking. It is my life and consumes my career and free time. I'm an environmentalist, a naturalist, and a conservationist, and can get kinda carried away with it sometimes. Also I absolutely love good beer and going to as many breweries as possible is critical. I'm hoping to meet some great people while I'm out and about, and learn what I can from them, and share stories and good times.

PHILOSOPHY

"What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree? The purpose of the giant sequoia tree is to provide shade for the tiny titmouse." - Edward Abbey
