‘of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt’

I was never much of an outdoors person in my teens and 20s, but once I started my current day job, I had to adapt… fast.

As it turns out, I love hiking, camping, backpacking, trail running, snowshoeing, camping, paddling and everything in between!

Here’s where you can find information about all my outdoors adventures here in northern Arizona and beyond.

MY OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

PADDLING

I love my inflatable stand-up paddle boards. Here are some adventures I’ve taken them on.

BACKPACKING

One backpack, zero problems. Here are some of my overnight backcountry hiking adventures.

DAY HIKING

Everything from bare feet in Tevas to insulated hiking boots in snowshoes.

CAR CAMPING

Why sleep in my bed when I can sleep in the dirt*?
*Or a tent, cabin, yurt or truck bed

EVERYTHING ELSE

Skiing? Flying? Climbing? Spelunking? I’ll try pretty much anything, even if I suck at it.
