    I am originally from Sheboygan, WI but I have lived in Eau Claire for close to a decade. I graduated from UW-Stout with a BS in Health Wellness and Fitness. You will find me outside in any weather hiking, running, cycling and camping. There's no such thing as "bad weather", only great gear.

    A quote I live by is "Voluntary exposure to that which freezes and terrifies you in measured proportions is curative" - Jordan Peterson.
