About Me

Hey there. I currently live out of my truck, I don't always live out of my truck, but when I do, I prefer to occasionally not live out of my truck.. That's where you (maybe) come in!

For the months of July and August I am spending some time exploring the South, and what better way to do that than by living out of your truck?

Most of my time is spent in the mountains usually backpacking around or rock climbing, however, occasionally I like to visit nearby cities or just get back to civilization for a night or two.

I am an outdoorsman and a wanderer. I love anything outdoors and active, and those experiences are always magnified with good people around.

I am a senior at Michigan Tech University in Mechanical Engineering, and I spent the last 6 months on an internship near Greensboro, NC.
