MEET 'N GREET
I Enjoy snowboarding, surfing, sailing, camping and swimming—pretty much anything that gets me outside in nature. I also enjoy photography and creative acts… like writing poetry, playing with clay, building, painting or drawing.
Fast Talkin'
Most Memorable / Meaningful Place I’ve Visited
The vast mountains of British Columbia hold a special place in my heart… alongside the rugged Oregon Coast and the warm dusty roads of Baja.
Pro Tip
Change is inevitable — the only thing you can control is how you show up and adapt.
What Would Your TED Talk Be About
The intersection of creativity, resilience entrepreneurship, and the outdoors.
Alternate Life or Timeline
I’ve built a life beyond anything I could have imagined, so it’s tough to picture an alternate path. But if I had to choose, I’d be a full-time artist living by the sea or deep in emerging countries creating and improving structures or processes that are essential for the country’s progress.
How Do You Like Giving Back?
I’m passionate about environmental causes and youth outdoor education. I love supporting organizations that encourage young people to connect with nature and thus promote a healthy lifestyle and a personal passion for sustainability… It’s hard for someone to care about the environment when you’ve never truly experienced the deep beauty of it.
Guilty Pleasure/Indulgence
My guilty pleasure would have to be buying film cameras, indulging in local food or taking spontaneous trips.
Switch Bodies with One Person for a Day
If I could switch bodies with someone for a day… it would have to be Lebron James or Michael Phelps.
How Does Using Yakima Products Make Your Life Easier?
I am not naturally the most organized person… and travelling around in my FJ73 with all the gear I need to do anything fun at any moment can get a little messy. I love Yakima because it helps me efficiently transport all my gear… stay organized… and make space for friends in my truck by organizing my snowboards, surfboards, or camping equipment on the roof or in the back.
