About Me

If you have the well-being of others firmly in your heart, you will never take a wrong step. If you think only of yourself, you are competing with everyone else. Mountains fill me with a passion that there are no words for. I love the hydrologic cycle. When cold snow tickles my face, I feel alive. I need to live where I can see the Milky Way.

My Interests

shredding the backcountry, climbing, riding waves, reading, lucid dreams, photography, sustainability, aurora borealis displays, travel, the West, stickin' it to the man

I'd like to meet:

Anybody with an open mind. Also, individuals who are brave enough to follow their dreams, and won't have to worry about one day realizing that they wasted their life selling insurance out of a fucking cubicle. Oh, and this!

The Big Lebowski, Scrapple, POP, Apocalypse Now, Ray, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dead Poets' Society, Million Dollar Baby, Life is Beautiful, Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous, 2001
