CURRENT MISSION

Meet new friends, have more adventures

ABOUT ME

I grew up in an apartment in New York City, then went to Virginia and Tennessee for school. Despite my urban upbringings, I've always loved the outdoors, particularly the mountains. I managed to spend summers in a bunch of random places for jobs, internships, etc. I've been living in New York but have managed to travel a fair amount.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that we have a very finite amount of time on this Earth so we must make the most of it at all times. Unfortunately I have been known to not live by this tenet at times and have wasted far too many hours...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After finishing school in 2009, my friend and I drove to Washington and climbed to the summit of Mt. Rainier. Also, completing the NY Marathon in 2010 in 30 seconds under my goal of 4:30.
