Spending time outdoors makes you feel great.

I spent a lot of time outdoors as a kid.

I was blessed to grow up in really interesting times and to go back to a home where I was very safe.

It's the adventure, the adrenaline-flowing, risk-taking in outdoor activities that attracts me.

I want to feel that every trip I make has enhanced me as a person.

I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply.

I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world.

Once I graduated from university, I wanted to climb and be outdoors as much as possible. I worked as a part-time carpenter and kept up a relationship with The North Face. One thing led to another, and I'm lucky to be where I am now. It was a circuitous path with lots of adventure throughout.

I was really active as a kid. I was outdoors constantly.

The happiest days of my youth were when my brother and I would run through the woods and feel quite safe.
