Born 1999 in a small village in the wilderness of Alaska, I left home at age 17 to work in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine. After saving up money and training for a season I flew to Paris France for Mount Desert Island, Maine. Where I worked double shifts, climbing mountains in between shifts and trained on my days off. After the season ended, I used the money I saved to travel to travel to Europe and cycled for two months across the Pyrenees mountains in the winter months of November - December. ©
