Me

There are two places that I would so far call home: Montana, where I was raised and attended college, and Alaska, where I moved immediately upon graduating with my partner, who is pursuing a career in rural medicine. These two fantastic places are highlighted, in small part, in my page on mountains.

Though, far more important than geography, we are defined by people. Here are mine. (And our awesome dog, Rosie, when she was a puppy.)

Good Reading

Here are a few pieces of writing that I am particularly fond of (with some recency bias):

• Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari
• In Search of the Mount Cleveland Five, Terry Kennedy
• Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer
• But What if We’re Wrong?, Chuck Klosterman
• Using the Borsuk-Ulam Theorem, Jiří Matoušek
• Patagonia Vertical, Rolando Garibotti
