CURRENT MISSION

Stop working so much and get back to adventuring in life.

ABOUT ME

I am a young and highly energetic person. If I go out to a bar I am likely to come home having gotten to know every person in the bar. I love outdoor activities and grew up backpacking, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, climbing, running, and more. I am always ready for an adventure on a minutes notice and rarely plan my life more than a few hours ahead of now.

PHILOSOPHY

Act now, plan later.
"Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce."
"You will not be known for the fruit you pick but by the trees you plant"
