Climbing

A reporter once asked mountaineer and clergyman George Mallory why he climbs mountains. He replied, "Because they are there." Few things excite me more than an adventure. When I climb, I'm completely focused, totally absorbed in the present moment. Spending time in nature fills me with joy and serenity. I am dedicated to making the outdoors accessible and welcoming for everybody.

Running

Life is full of challenges and struggles. How we cope with this fact determines our life satisfaction. I use the practice of running to contend with what happens in my life. Sometimes a long run can feel like a meditation and sometimes it is hard. Usually, I feel a lot better after. 

Travel

I love to explore. I want to see the world and encounter new cultures and ways of being. Travel is a great way to keep things fresh and expand your sense of the possible.
