I spent the summer before my sophomore year of college hitchhiking, couchsurfing, camping and hiking all around Northern California for 10 weeks, spending very little money but seeing and learning a million mindblowing things.

As an aspiring educator, I love to share my small but growing pool of knowledge, particularly in the realms of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Tolkien, and current events and politics.

I will talk your ear off about rocks if you let me, but I'm also a good listener, and I'll hear anyone's story. I will work a bit, because I don't mind giving back, and I will answer any question you have of me or of anything to the best of my knowledge.

I attend Bates College (the finest liberal arts school in all of Central Maine), where I study Geology and Education. I'm an outdoorsy guy, and I love to hike, climb, swim, bike, climb, ski, and explore in general. I also like to read, and I love beer of all kinds. I play some music, but I enjoy listening to it more, because it sounds better. Traveling is one of the most important things to me, and I have a burning urge to see all that I can of the world before my legs give out. Also working on my photography.
