What national park do you dream of visiting?

I went to Glacier National Park once for one day and it was the most beautiful stunning place I have been. I would love to go back again and to see the more of the park and have time to soak it all in.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

Probably photographing the Iditarod, a 1,000 mile dog sled race in Alaska in the dead of winter. Following a team of dogs from interior Anchorage Alaska to the coast of the Bering Sea and staying in a village hosted by native Inuits was a live changing experience. As a person from Northern California, an Alaskan winter was so far removed from anything I had ever experienced. It’s a tie between the Iditarod and hiking the Western States Trail with my best friend and my dog Panza. Great times.

What would you do with $10,000?

I would put money towards the property that my partner and I want to buy. Land with a home and an orchard that will also feature a flower and tea farm. It will be a space that eventually would become public facing and a place people can come and get closer to nature.
