When it comes to the outdoors, I’m more like Henry David Thoreau than Bear Grylls.
I’m not interested in cold camps or survival techniques. I don’t plan on hunting moose with a handmade bow like that one guy on the reality show “Alone.”
I’m more interested in the rocks and where they originated. The flora and fauna and how they’ve adapted to their environments over generations. I like hiking and exploring new landscapes. I’m really just a kid running around the woods at heart.
This curiosity has shaped how I think over the past ten years, including how I interact with the natural world and vote for policy.
