My Time with Target was very rewarding as it drilled into to me the importance of team work and client service. For
all the negative that can be said about the retail business, it was a truly positive experience for me in my formative
years and ultimately it’s the work ethic and values I developed there that I use every day as an adventure guide.

I took time off between the end of August 2008 and January 2009. I decided to see the
country on a road trip that looped us from Boston, west towards Pennsylvania then south
through California, driving east, through Texas, and then back to Boston driving north through
DC. Three friends and I did this while part of an indie rock band, playing shows everywhere
we stayed. Easily one of the best experiences in my life and what sparked my thirst for travel.
One of my favorite experiences during the trip was being in New Orleans the week of
Halloween which subsequently led into Barack Obama’s presidential win the week after.
So much fun!
I returned home just before Thanksgiving and spent the holidays with my family while I
looked for employment.

Interests I have always been artistically inclined. I am a musician and have played in groups
since I was 14. Expressing myself through music was something that was strongly encouraged and
supported by my local Boys and Girls Club. It had led me to some great friends and a few indie
touring opportunities that helped me see more of the United States and sparked my passion for
travel!
In addition, Cycling has always been a passion of mine, one which I’ve successfully turned into my
living in adventure tourism!
