Sun > Screen

I write about outdoor trips nearby metropolitan areas across America. Get some fresh air over the weekend by following my guides!

My love for the outdoors formed at an early age with the Boy Scouts. Troop 7 in Topeka, Kansas was full of great people that showed me the ropes and helped me reach the rank of Eagle Scout. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by good spirited boys my age that brought joy to any outing. I know the importance of having a strong community around you to help you learn something new & enjoy it, and I have started this website to be that community for you!

When I felt my most natural self outdoors, it lead to a sense of adventure and wanting to explore. This feeling translated to my everyday life and massively positively impacted my outlook and overall mental health. The physical and mental benefits to ‘getting out there’ is incredible and I genuinely hope everyone can find their natural self outdoors just like I did - and I aim to show you how while balancing a work life.

If you like what you read here, I hope you’ll consider following a trip guide yourself.

The sun feels better than the screen! Let’s get out there!
