Born and raised in the Northwest, I currently live in Portland, Oregon with my partner in crime, Hudson (my dog). Our time is spent relaxing in Hood River, expoloring the Oregon Coast and sipping on Portland's original brews.

I work at Coast Products, a LED light, knife, headlamp and multi-tool manufacturer that will rock your socks off. We produce tools to make your life safer and easier. Check us out on CoastPortland.com.

I love traveling (Thailand is next on my list) and exploring different areas of the NW. As far as activties go, I enjoy skiing, playing tennis, hiking, kayaking, visiting local winerys and breweries, and playing with Hudson.
