I grew up in Texas but moved to Carnation, WA during the latter half of my childhood. I have many siblings and soon began experiencing the beauty of the PNW with my family – mostly my father and brothers. 

During adulthood, I have continued to visit wilderness regions but have done so mostly in solitude. I enjoy reading, haiku, archery, rock climbing, backpacking, camping, and looking at the sky. The last activity mentioned is probably my favorite. 
 
I sought this position because I love work that has a hands-on, arduous, and rugged nature; and also, because I am in love with the outside air. If I were able, I would spend the remainder of my days and nights outside. I am most thrilled about hard, fulfilling labor and hope to acquire further experience, friends, and a career path throughout this excellent and remarkable opportunity.
