Although he grew up just outside the bustling city of Boston, family camping trips taught him the wonders of the outdoors and inspired a love for climbing and hiking that matured during his college years. At Princeton University, he was staff at the campus rock wall and acted as a freshmen orientation trip leader, taking new students on five-day backpacking trips with a day of climbing. He is excited to continue his interests in outdoor education and computer systems with CMRCA in Thailand, somewhere quite new. When he’s not climbing or sitting behind his laptop you can probably find him sketching, dancing, reading, or taking photos at odd angles.
