CURRENT MISSION

climb mountains!

ABOUT ME

I just finished living in Austria for two years and am once again working as a ski instructor for the winter. My only real goal is now to explore the natural places of the world, ski, climb, bike, play banjo, and learn Spanish.

Music, Movies, and Books

Siddartha by Hermann Hesse

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent two weeks working in the city of Pompeii, ate a very large larva in the forest on a dare, played banjo on the streets of Galway, cycled all day through torrential rains.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share a lot about outdoors and backpacking in Oregon. I like to play old time music, so I can play a few tunes . I can pick a mean banjo. I'm interested in learning Spanish, and about Spanish/South American cultures.
