I've been extraordinarily lucky: Traveling to more than 50 countries, guiding for 10 years in Alaska and Oregon, living in Central Asia and experiencing quite a bit along the way. All while managing to develop a few good stories. In between teaching, a 2 year old and a wife in grad school - I also started a new direction by starting a career in art. Here is art, travels and other aspects of my life.

Birthday Baby!

Hard to believe the little monkey is a year old. Time flies when you have a wife in grad school, a 1 year old and a couple of other things to do. She makes us smile everyday - No matter how much you think you've got the parenthood thing figured out, she manages to throw us curve-balls on a regular basis - She is a hoot and keeps us humble.
