What national park do you dream of visiting?

I have my sights set on Zion -- it just looks absolutely breathtaking. That, Glacier, and Denali. Honestly, it's pretty impossible to choose!

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

I think my experience at the Grand Canyon has to be my favorite. It's like hiking a mountain backwards. I hiked across from the South Rim to the North Rim with a group, and we took a side trip to Rainbow Falls to cool off. Then, I hiked from North to South alone, much of it in the dark, and finished around 4am. I don't think I've ever been so tired (or hungry) in my life. I had two breakfasts that morning!

What would you do with $10,000?

I would invest in more camera gear so I can document my travels and also create films that tell the kinds of stories that I am passionate about -- stories about people and all the amazing things we humans do, especially out in nature. It would also allow me to take the time to focus more on these stories.
