Visiting Banff National Park has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember! It is a place that I know would feel like home. There is something special about the Rockies - its majestic beauty, tall peaks, crisp cold water & people you meet along the way - that draws me in every time. I’ve spent a lot of time in Alaska & the mountain west traveling through Montana, Idaho, Wyoming & Colorado on my own. These mountains are healing & to witness the beauty of Banff would be life changing.

An adventure experience I’ll never forget: a multiday camping trip in the Jarbridge wilderness, NV with some coworkers. I grew an appreciation for the duality of the landscape there. We were not only in the middle of the dry desert far from civilization, but we were also surrounded by the most beautiful high desert wildlife I’d ever seen: jagged peaks, never ending aspen trees, flowers, cold streams, mountain lions & moose. In a part of the country that was so desolate & arid, we found an oasis!

I would donate a portion of the winnings MSK cancer research in honor of my late father to help fund treatment trials. The remaining winnings would go towards building out my truck to fulfill my dream of traveling across country with my pup!
