About Me

I love spending as much time as possible outside. Camping, hiking, climbing, you name it. I love kayaking, just started stand-up paddle boarding, and I enjoy running. Mountains are my weakness. I especially love the North Cascades and the Himalayas. My dream is to build an Earthship and live off the grid.

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." -Henry David Thoreau
