"Ahhhh my favorite memory. Hmmmm. I think it would be when we went camping in the Umpqua and we realized we forgot our pots and pans. We learned that with a little creativity, you can make almost anything in a Dutch oven! ;)"

He is inspired by "My two roommates, Nate and Mike. They are constantly getting after it, and they are always pushing me to get out there and adventure with them. Mike recently got me addicted to ice climbing and I’m pretty sure I’m going bike packing with Nate in a couple weeks on a single speed bike he told me to buy (this should be interesting). Some of my favorite moments in life are when I get to go climbing with them."
