I've been an outdoors enthusiast since I was a kid. As a teenager I backpacked all over the High Sierras, the highlight of my teen-years was summiting Mount Whitney. Now as an adult, I enjoy day hikes with my girlfriend, Patti. In 2010, Patti and I hiked over 1,200 miles throughout Southern California. We hike every weekend and we both credit hiking for keeping our relationship strong.
