Making music with friends and family.

When not climbing for work or play, I love the simplicity of trail running. I also enjoy reading a good book (historical fiction is my favorite), throwing sticks in the river with my dog, learning new jokes (that I'll never actually remember) and singing along (poorly) to rap songs.
