CURRENT MISSION

I grew up in Montana and now want to see the world and meet all the people!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the flat lands of northeastern Montana. It was a small farm/ranch community of 1500 people. Growing up the closest Walmart was 210 miles away and the nearest McDonalds was 90 miles away.

I went to Montana State University and remained in the beautiful mountainous community of Bozeman, MT from 2004-2008.

I absolutely love flying, bouldering, hiking, trail running, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, community volunteer activities, and much much more!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and learn, forgive and forget, and knowledge is never ending.

You must experience life for yourself. Do not allow others to define your existence.

Let no man pull you so low that you hate him. Always avoid violence. If you sow the seeds of violence in your struggle, unborn generations will reap the whirlwind of social disintegration.
-Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
