CURRENT MISSION

To experience all the love and adventure life has to offer with my dog by my side.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in downtown Chicago but I have been living in Maine for the last 5 years. Although I'm well seasoned to city-living, I prefer the woods, the ocean, the mountains, fresh air and skies full of stars.
I live with my pup Jasper, he goes everywhere with me.
I love being outside. I love to travel and meet new people.
I am open, out-going, out-spoken, and outrageous.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about the love you share and the connections you make.
Everyone should have a dog in their life!
Life is short, make the most of it.
Treat others how you would wish to be treated.
Love the life you live!
Drink water!
Go Outside!!
