I love everything outdoors. I love to camp, backpack, surf, paddle board, mountain bike, and really anything to better enjoy the outdoors.

My bucket list parks are: Denali, Mount Rainier, Grand Teton, North Cascades, and Glacier National Parks.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?I spent 5 days backpacking alone in the Oregon wilderness and camped by Mink Lake. The water was so deep blue and I was the only one there the whole time. It felt like I had my own private Carter Lake. There were clear skies and an awe inspiring meteor shower. It was pure magic.
What would you do with $10,000?I would take my wife and goldendoodle puppy to the only remaining state that I have not been to yet, Alaska. From there I would stretch that money as far as it could go funding a road trip to as many of the beautiful places in this country as possible.
