Snapshot Bio

I was born and raised in Iowa and now live in Portland, Oregon.

I work in the construction profession. I use my skills in technology, communication, teaching, and analysis to improve the way we build our buildings.

I believe work is a vibrant part of what it takes to be truly happy. Work is not the only thing in my life, but it is something at my core.

I want 2013 to be a year of adventure. I want to look back and have some good stories to tell this year. There were.

In 2019, I did 150 hikes. 2020 doesn't have a theme yet.

I believe one of the most valuable things I can do is to teach someone else to do what I struggled to learn.
