undefinedIn my spare time I have founded, run the social media for, and host "Hike and Wine About It"- a podcast that discusses all things hiking- how to get started, gear reviews, lessons learned, and safety in the outdoors all while enjoying a glass of new wine every week. My hobbies include: backpacking, hiking, rock climbing, bodybuilding, and training my dogs to communicate using AAC speech buttons. My personal life is a direct reflection of my willingness to go the extra mile, perseverance in the face of adversity, willingness to put in the work, and eagerness to learn and grow constantly.
