Mountains and Trails

I started hiking and mountaineering when I was 15, and I still enjoy hiking and backpacking.

  • Flew hang gliders in university, including a 30-plus-mile cross-country flight.
  • Thru-hiked the John Muir Trail twice.
  • Hiked from the Grand Canyon South Rim to the North Rim in one day.
  • Spent a few years deeply into running and trail running.
  • Finished three 100-mile trail races: Grand Raid la Reunion, Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, and Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji.

These Days

Recently I have been trying more DIY projects using a 3D printer and a laser cutter.
