I love ultra trail running and biking through town as these activities offer me an escape and make me feel like a kid again! I also love playing guitar and drums with my band!
My first overnight canoe trip across Mica Bay of Lake Coeur d’Alene! Quality memories with quality people!
Summiting the high point of the deepest river gorge in North America with my best friend Jesse and his pup Sparky the Trail Dawg!
Tijuana, Mexico! It was my first time out of the country, and it was an incredibly eye-opening experience being able to work with and witness a culture I had not yet seen before. The group I was with felt like family and we had the strongest bond at the end of our trip. Mexico hold a special place in my heart, and I hope to return soon!
Bonding with my staff team and making friendships and memories with students that I will remember forever.
