CURRENT MISSION

See Alaska and explore new places and ways of life.

ABOUT ME

I like doing things outdoors (hiking, camping, sea kayaking, and surfing) but also enjoy down time (reading, movies, exploring the city, coffee shops). I've been a trip leader and educator, worked in construction/development, property management, and catering.

PHILOSOPHY

Surround yourself with people who have qualities you admire. Strive to improve yourself, be bolder, be more outgoing, and be active in creating opportunities in life.
