About
At home everywhere.
I’m often told that it feels like I’ve lived dozens of lives after I share stories or provide insight into my 40+ years on this planet. Traveling the world as a child with my family, my father a B-52 pilot, consistently moving every few years. So many pivotal milestones from earning my Eagle Scout badge to navigating marriage, divorce, and the early death of both of my parents as a young man, as well as exploring and leading expeditions around our world from the Amazon to the Arctic. Reflecting back I can see the numerous moments of ceremony, growth, grief, love, learning, and a endless cycle of learning opportunities. Grateful for each one as they’ve shaped my mind and heart in a way that I feel I know inside and out, truly.
