About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see the world in a grain of sand

ABOUT ME

Well...I enjoy many outdoor experiences (skiing, climbing, biking, hiking, etc). I also like to explore the city and try new restaurants/bars. When I'm not being active I can be an all day sports nerd or knock off an afternoon reading or watching movies.

PHILOSOPHY

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.
-Bukowski
