“Being raised in the suburbs my father would always make time for the mountains. I remember always patiently waiting for the next trip, so eager to leave the city. As I grew up I began to understand what the gap between myself, the city, and the outdoors really did and how it influenced who I am today. Being introduced to an outdoorsman’s way of life at a young age, I’ve developed an eye for natural beauty, light, change, pattern, flight, and direction. It taught me how leaving the wild places essentially drove me right back in, every single time. I wouldn’t change that for the world.”
