Hello! A little bit about me. I was born and raised in Southern California but I went to college at the University of Portland in Oregon where I got my engineering degree. I then returned to SoCal to work at an aerospace company making rocket engines. My love for travel and the outdoors came from my parents and the Boy Scouts. I am an eagle scout and have worked at various camps and High Adventure Bases. I love to camp, hike and I am starting to rock climb. I am always looking for an excuse to go some place new. Anyway thats a small summary of who I am but please feel free to ask me anything!
