CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking the remote and gorgeous spots of the Pacific NW.

ABOUT ME

I've spent the past 10 years in a variety of occupations. I've learned I love connecting my love for the outdoors and sharing it with others. After leaving my job of 6 years as a social worker I'm excited to spend more time in the wilderness with my lovely girlfriend and our two dogs. The goal is to see and spend time being in the wild places, enjoying the company of friends and taking each day one at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

No reason to leave the river as long as the fish are biting.

Currently into Hugh Masekela, Polyrthymics and Manu Dibango. Always interested in anything with a good bass line.

Just finished Snow Falling on Cedars, excellent book. Favorite book of the year would have to be The Hungry Tide. Always up for a reading recommendation.

I took a 10 day canoeing trip through the back waters of the Everglades in Florida where I learned how to navigate and survive on the water with only the food and equipment that we brought along in our canoes.
