 This is my mom, Jackie!                                                                   And my dad, Ron!

And these are my two dogs:

Angel, a Shih Tzu!                                       And Reno, a King Charles Spaniel!

When I was 17, I began working towards Eagle Scout. My project was building covered firewood racks for Endangered Wolf Center in St. Louis, which they needed so they could have dry firewood for their late night educational events to teach people more about wolves!

On August 21st, 2012, I completed my Eagle Board of Review and officially became an Eagle Scout!

I learned many skills during my journey to Eagle Scout, from how to perform various types of first aid, to a multitude of communication skills, all of which have and will continue to be helpful to me throughout my whole life.

I've been on quite a few trips in my life, but here are some that made memories that I won't be forgetting for a very long time!

Alaska

Back when I was in high school, my family and some friends of ours went on an Alaskan cruise during the summer. We left from Seattle and made stops in several towns in Alaska, and even made a stop in British Columbia! One of my favorite parts of the whole trip was the scenery we saw. Huge mountain ranges covered in snow, ice everywhere, it was beautiful! 

I'm hoping to go on another cruise someday, and as nice as Alaska was, I'd love to visit more tropical locations too!

Gulf Shores

Recently my family and the same friends of ours that we went on the cruise with have been going down to Gulf Shores for a week during the summer. Just last summer we went down for our second time and may be going down again in the future. The whole week is a very relaxing experience, hanging out on the beach, going to fun restaurants on the coast, and even doing some adventurous things like parasailing!

Universal Studios

I've been down to Florida quite often in my life. I used to go down usually once a year when I had family down there, and we'd usually end up going to Disneyworld and Universal for a day or two. Just a few years ago though, I went back down to Orlando for the first time in a while and spent around a week at Universal Studios, focusing mainly on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter parks that I had yet to go to there. The whole week was a blast, and Harry Potter parks were astounding. I'm hoping I can go back there again someday!
