My Handcrafted Adventures

  • International Piracy

    Using only scrap wood, an old bedsheet, and an already fully functional boat that we… borrowed, my first mate and I were able to build and sail a pirate ship through the Sea of Japan

  • The Teardrop Dream

    Unrealistic expectations, an incredibly tight budget and far too little time. The boyhood dream to build a teardrop camper and drive it across the country. With six weeks and record breaking summer heat, this project was a battle that pushed me to my limits.

  • Himalayan Barefoot Backpacking

    Sixty miles barefoot through the jungles of the lower Himalayas and a unique engineering dilemma. My time in Nepal changed the way I view the world and challenged me to give back to a community in need.

  • Man As An Animal

    A complex relationship exists between man and his ecosystem. Understanding our connection to our food and our environment allows us to live more fulfilling and sustainable lives.

  • Dirty Hippy Pirates

    Over 2,500 miles with a thumb out and a big smile. Me and buddies backpacked from Israel to Albania in one epic summer.
