I’m an avid backpacker, who has completed a full thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. I have also thru-hiked the Vermont Long Trail in 16 days, challenging myself to walk as much as possible and carrying a 22-liter daypack of my own design. This attitude towards these ventures stems from a great work ethic and pure curiosity of capacity.

Those characteristics bleed into my other hobbies, such as cycling, and recently, backcountry snowboarding. I love using myself as a testing playground for products and ideas because I believe the combination of design and the human experience is a beautiful one. I’m constantly thinking, repairing, and tinkering with the day-to-day, from patching clothes and sewing custom gear, to admiring city architecture and playing with legos, I live for the process of creation.
