WHAT DOES NATURE MEAN TO YOU?

It means “of the Earth”. Something that has sprouted and thrived in the pastures and nourishment of what land and Earth offer.

DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL WILDERNESS

Flowers bursting. Trees soaring. Pine scented dirt. And always … the roar of the ocean nearby.

WHAT MOUNTAIN / PROJECT ARE YOU WORKING ON NEXT?

Just completed the Salkantay trek and pass on the Inca trail in Peru. My next project involves conservation and exploration. We are headed to the Galapagos. Next project though is really sitting down with an executive coach to figure out my next endeavor.

Salkantay, Peruvian Andes. 20,574ft / 6,271m.

WHAT DOES MOVEMENT MEAN TO YOU?

Hiking. Walking...take a deep breath.

WHAT BOOK HAD THE MOST NOTABLE IMPACT ON YOU & WHY?

Shantaram. Love story. Epic. The book found me in a state of craving romance and adventure. Then presented it in an articulate action packed way.

WHAT PIECE OF GEAR COULD YOU NEVER LEAVE BEHIND?

My Camelbak packed with water and snacks!
