01About

After spending hundreds of days and thousands of miles walking through forests, over mountains, and across entire countries, I'm still always seeking the next adventure – from the heights of the Himalayas in Nepal to the windswept expanses of Patagonia.

Between adventures I moonlight a self-taught software engineer with a thrill for writing code and creating user interfaces.
