As I was scrolling through some of my teammates about me’s I figured its time to finally write mine.
Writing about myself always feels a bit strange but ill give it my best shot. I was born and raised in California in a town called Visalia just 40 minutes outside of Sequoia national park so to say the outdoors are apart of my life is an understatement. I grew up hiking camping and backpacking with my family. Being outdoors deep in the mountains is where I get the clearest connection with God, it’s my sanctuary my home. As John Muir would say “I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains.”
God has always been a huge part of my life but I always struggled with my purpose and what I was supposed to do. In 2017 I went to a Young adults camp with my church I was frustrated and angry with God. That camp for me was like the night Jacob wrestled with God. I was not leaving until I got some type of answers. That weekend He told me three things I will travel the world, I will preach, and . I was stoked but I had no idea what any of that meant. This last year my roommate that had done the world race told me about his journey and I knew right away this is what God was speaking to me and I had to do it. I said well if I get in I’ll go, I was accepted and thought oh man this is real now. I was getting planning on doing the October route but I got this feeling it wasn’t for me. The Jan expedition route was released and I knew that this is where I belonged. The adventurous route for adventures. I was hooked and here we are. I look forward to what God has in store for this journey and grow into the man he has created me to be.
