I have lived in the great state of oregon for over 12 years now and I have a had a great love for hiking/backpacking the Oregon outdoors on a what use to be a weekly basis. Recently had a son named River with my lovely wife Sarah and so that restricts things a little. However not by too much. We have taken River out out on a number of trails within the NW and he seems to love it. I have had a strong passion in videography and learning new things to help share my own experience with others. I have been video blogging for about 3 years. Take a peak at Oregonexploration.com. My ultimate vision is to help people Get Up, Get Out, and Explore. I feel it is important for us all to explore one thing or another. Challenge ourselves and many times it about the information that holds us back from doing things with confidence. I feel this "confidence" comes with knowledge. Enjoying the information Outdoor Project provides to us fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
