What national park do you dream of visiting?

All of the. But my first would be Yosemite. I love climbing, camping and fishing. It’s been a dream of mine to send the big walls in Yosemite and go fishing in the streams. I’d love to explore the park with my son.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

I’ve been to 24 countries hiking, climbing, whitewater, teaching yoga and more. I’ve lived in the jungles of Panama with the indigenous with my daughter when she was 11, crossed the desert mountains of Oman to descend deep into some the largest caves in the world. Backpacked through central and South America for 18 months teaching yoga, outdoor survival and making many friends. I’ve had many amazing adventures with many more to some.

What would you do with $10,000?

I’m a full time single dad, I just finished my degree at Naropa University. I’d love to take some time off to travel with my son searching for a place to build our home and life. I’d use part of the money for my daughter to travel and study abroad for a semester.
