I was raised in a remote Alaskan town where boats and broadwalks took place of cars and roads. Growing up living off the land in the Tongass National Forest had a big impact on my physical make up and mental outlook. I'm continually curious, love being outside & have an adventurous soul. I’ve lived in San Jose California for the last 6 years with 3 half years spent in Phoenix during that time period. Currently living in the Des Moines Iowa
