About me

I love to learn - history, physics, astronomy, geology, archaeology, etc. I enjoy learning new skills and ideas, usually at the cost of my ego. Travel and outdoor pursuits are my outlets in my free time.

The Best Part of My Job

Living in the outdoors and experiencing the grandeur of river corridors. I consistently get to learn various new things while meeting great people.

How I found OARS

I followed the breadcrumbs of dory boating.

My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Nothing quite as serene.

My Favorite Trip Memory

Paddling under Victoria Falls.

My Lucky Charm

Fernando the hippo.

I Can’t Live Without

A good book.
