I've been photographed professionally climbing under glaciers and on top of mountains, I've refueled helicopters, worked on computer systems in prisons and led bike and kayak tours for a living. I've been in college before I graduated high school and I likely won't be done with my PhD until I'm at least thirty. I grew up in Southeast Alaska and have the ability to run full tilt through old growth forest. Argentina was hot but Japan was hotter. I've played slap bass for over a decade and love giving lessons. I'm a runner but I climb daily. My girlfriend keeps me sane and shows me a kind of love I never knew could exist, it permeates every fiber of my being. In June I will be graduating with a degree in Political Science and a degree in Islamic and European History. In October I will travel around the world with my girl and then head back to the states for grad school. My goal is to become a professor teaching in the United States and overseas. Enjoy the stumbles, I know I do.
