About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

keen on outdoor activities including whitewater and sea kayaking, hiking, bouldering, snowboarding, longboarding, diving...on and on... Conscience herbivore who enjoys a good kitchen and plenty of edibles. Could have been a sea turtle in my past life, but presently roaming new england by vessel. Spend most of my working days in the summer as the proprietor of CapeKayaking.com and throughout the winter I work with silver and gold as an apprentice in jewelry making.

PHILOSOPHY

appreciation is love, experiences are life
