About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Southwestern traveller

PHILOSOPHY

I think the term "hedonist" has some undeserved negative connotations.

Interests

I dig:
-Hiking
-Climbing
-Canyoneering
-Cycling (mostly road biking, mediocre at mountain biking)
-Paddling (learning... don't have a boat... yet)
-Food
-Conservation work (I've done a good bit of trail work and invasive species removal)
-Science!
