As the Ultimate Explorer I have shared my passion and knowledge for the outdoors freely. This makes me the Ultimate Explorer.

I would love to visit Denali National Park in Alaska. I love the remote nature and wildness of Alaska and would love to share it with my family on an adventure of a life time.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?In 17 years working as the Director of the Outdoor Program at Weber State University I have had the opportunity to introduce thousands of people to the outdoors. From a student's first time sleeping under the stars or rafting down a river or eating a smore, to helping someone accomplish a life long goal. I will never forget taking my son at age 13 to climb the Grand Teton for the first time. I loved the experience more living it through his eyes than I ever did the previous 34 times on my own.
What would you do with $10,000?In March I was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I have dreamed my whole life of the adventures that I would share with my kids as they became teenagers. Now as I look into the future I want them to know where they can find peace, and joy as I have, in the quiet places the wild places the places where we become the best versions of our selves. I would use the 10k to set up scholarships for under privileged students to take adventures at WSU and take my family on and adventure of a lifetime
