I grew up in northern Georgia. Shortly after high school, I joined the U.S. Army and became an Airborne Ranger. In 2015 I retired from the U.S. Army with over 21 years of active service as a Special Forces Non-Commissioned officer. Since retirement I have been searching for an opportunity that would enable me to do meaningful work and protect our natural resources while working outdoors.

Being selected by the Mt Adams Institute’s VetsWork program has really given me the opportunity to achieve my goals as a steward of our natural resources. This opportunity gives me a new mission and I am very honored to be selected.

It was so much fun teaching mtadamsinstitute summer botany camp yesterday. The kids had a blast learning about plants and natural dyes. We had a field trip to bloomanddye to harvest fresh dye flowers and the older kids made bundle dyed bandanas. The young kids made indigo shibori bandanas and left with blue hands and blue arms! 💙🌿🌼💛 

I left exhausted with a big smile and full heart. Seeing the joy and happiness on these kids faces as they saw what they created was a treat.

We visited many places in the trout lake valley area to gather fresh ingredients for our outdoor cooking, here the Mt. Chef campers picked fresh vegetables and seasonings for our dumplings!

#throwbackthursday to Cascade Mountain School's 2016 Nature Art Camp! This year, CMS is offering a similar camp called Recycled Art where students will work with recycled and repurposed material to make beautiful works of art! This camp will inspire artistic spirit while gaining an appreciation for the things we throw away. Students will get the opportunity to feel like real artists in a local Trout Lake art studio as they create their magical masterpieces. Registration is open at cascademountainschool.org! #mtadamsinstitute #cascademountainschool #recycledart #summercamp #registernow #tbt
