Ever since childhood, I have had a strong connection to the outdoors, whether spending time at my grandparent's cabin, camping with my family, or hiking and exploring the woods behind our home. 

​

I've been fortunate enough to build a lifetime of outdoor memories, often with my wife and 3 children, and sometime on my own or with a small group of friends. I enjoy everything from exploring local parks to eco-tourism abroad with varied activities such as caneoing, hiking, camping, fishing, backpacking, birdwatching, snorkeling, scuba diving and more.  

​

As an environmental educator, I've learned I get almost as much joy out of teaching others about the natural world as I do on these adventures and this website and blog is a natural extension of that. ​It's nothing short of awe-inspiring to be able to spend so much time outdoors doing the things I love. If you're an explorer like I am, I hope you enjoy virtually coming along with me on my adventures.

“There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.”

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived".

-Henry David Thoreau
