CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Alaska, Im an avid outdoorsman...skiing, rock-climbing, mountaineering, hiking, camping, fishing, whatever the great outdoors has to offer! I graduated from the University of Oregon with a business degree, but just cant seem to settle down in one place. Ive spent a LOT of time in Buenos Aires over the last five years now, and am conviced it is one of the BEST cities in the world, and have since started a business importing Argentine wine to the US. Ive found this immense love of travel and experiencing other cultures and meeting new people, so I am out and about in the world whenever I can...Spain, France, Poland, Czech Rep, Italy, England, Brazil, Chile, Uruaguy, Colombia, Peru, Egypt...some of the most recent places Ive visited. Ive spent most of my time out of the US in South America, and Im currently in Argentina making a go at la vida Portena, but my heart will always be in Alaska...EVERYONE should visit AK at least once in their life, and when they do, look me up!

PHILOSOPHY

step out of your comfort zone, THEN you'll truly find out who you really are...

"sure dont know what im going for, but im gonna go for it for sure"
