Personal Mission Statement:

Be Still.

Live in the moment with purpose and passion.

Encourage & inspire others through hard work, discipline & love.

Growing up I had constant exposure to all things outside due to my father’s love and passion for it. Throughout grade school I recognized many other kids did not have those same opportunities though they had the interest. My passion grew to a point that I have worked in various camps leading children and adults in outdoor activities from hiking/camping, climbing and backpacking. In 2014 I was able to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail - a dream of mine beginning at age 10. Not long after, I found myself as a backpacking guide in the Smoky Mountains National Park for 2 years. However, Chattanooga had already become home to me and I decided to focus more on being present in this city. Yet, my passion for the outdoors and getting others outside has not diminished, thus KeenAdventures is how I hope to contribute.
