Beyond the screen

Nature is where I do my best thinking.

I spent a decade in Alaska running sled dogs. I’ve explored, learned and lived alongside the people of the Himalaya in Nepal. I’ve hiked long trails and run 100 miles straight as an ultra runner. I’m also a world traveler, an organic farmer and a lifelong learner.

Every one of those wilderness adventures taught me the same lesson… people go further with a good guide. That’s what I try to be for course creators, and it’s why we built LifterLMS.
