One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was stuck in a blizzard in the Gila National Wilderness in New Mexico and barely got out alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

i am a classically trained chef, and i want to learn about where you live by what you know how to cook and like to eat. i would be happy to pass on any knowledge i have that you might be interested in. i learn and teach best by doing, so let's eat! i am also an avid outdoorsman and would love to learn about the environment you live in. likewise, i can show you as much as i can about my environment, and any skills i have.
