CURRENT MISSION

Learn more about myself and the world around me- eternal student.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the southern Rockies of the US, and love all things mountains. For my career-I want to research mountain hydrology (water science), and for enjoyment I love to backpack, mountain bike, road bike, snowboard, and anything that gets me outside.

I try to live my life with continuous challenge and passion-whether its the challenge of staying in one place and growing roots and community, or being continuously on the go and pushing my comfort zone. I just switched to the second realm on this 5 month journey through south america.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply.
