Via hiking, paddling, riding, & climbing, I have explored over 300 locations of the 1800s artists for the sake of conservation.

Any National Park is oxygen for the soul, and yet Yosemite always takes my breath away.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?Backpacking the trails and actually camping to commune with nature. Both on the AT and so many other trails with an endless variety of biodiversity. When I create artwork at these locations, I try to show what it feels like to be there and instill the desire to protect them.
What would you do with $10,000?I have spent my life sharing exploration in hopes that by connecting w/ nature, people will be champions of it. Then 15 years ago, I discovered a publication that was created by 1800s adventure artists honoring the most picturesque places. I now find the exact spot where they created their art & recreate it to show how good of stewards we have been. Then I create a fundraiser to save the national parks. I will climb, paddle, hike or whatever it takes to find and protect all these locations.
