Outdoor Adventures

May 2015 - Present

From a young age, I was immersed in a variety of sports and outdoor activities. My parents got me involved in team sports like soccer and baseball. We spent most summer vacations at Acadia National Park outside of Bar Harbor, Maine where we went camping, biking, and hiking. My first vehicle, a Jeep Wrangler, sparked my interest in off roading. These experiences laid a strong foundation for outdoors enthusiasm but my interest deepened when I graduated from college in May 2015 and moved out to California. I slowly became more serious about the outdoors. Casual outings turned into a consistent and meaningful lifestyle. Hiking evolved into technical scrambles and climbing, and I began exploring new sports like mountain biking and backcountry skiing. At this point, I would estimate I spend 75% of my weekends engaged in some form of outdoor activity. While I have done countless outings at this point, this page is devoted to the best of the best. That does not mean they were all smooth sailing. Some ended in failure, with lessons learned the hard way. This is an important and very real part of the process which I wish to document, explore, and learn from.
