I grew up in the famous ski resort town of Vail, but now live in Daegu, South Korea, with my wife Lucy and dog, Winnie.
I continue to live and value the Colorado lifestyle, but do so while following my passion for international travel in Asia and beyond.
I write about international skiing, hiking, outdoor adventure, dog-friendly travel, travel gear, and more.
