What national park do you dream of visiting?

If I could visit any park it would be Glacier NP. Gunsight Pass Trail, Piegan Pass Trail & Iceberg Lake Trail are in my bucket list if I can ever make the trip.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

My Thru Hike of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It was the my next step in my pursuit of becoming a backpacker. As breathtaking as the sights were the confidence I gained and the pride I felt after was overwhelming and a soul nourishing. This trip made me realize I need to explore as much as I need to breath.

What would you do with $10,000?

I was a full time USA swim coach for 18 years since I was 20. In that time my Summers & Weekends were booked full with meets and I never wanted my swimmers to be without their coach. As a coach funds were always low as well. 10k would give me the chance to make up for some of that lost time and missed opportunities letting me get my bucket list back on track and have the gear to do it right.
