I’m originally from northern Minnesota, and have had a rather circuitous route to Forest Grove, which included stints in Iowa, Australia, southern Africa, Minneapolis, Portland, and Kansas City. I, along with my wife, two children and two dogs, now call Oregon home. I love the year-round green, the access to mountains and ocean, and the distinct lack of 20-below-zero winter days. I enjoy hiking and camping, and I’ve had the opportunity to travel to some amazing places. Below are some photos of the people, places, and activities that are important to me.
