Flying Through History Over Napa Valley
It’s hard to believe I started flying 10 years ago. If you look at pictures from my childhood you will see that I have always loved airplanes. There is one of me at Loring Air Force Base sitting by a C5A military cargo plane and I still remember that moment to this day. I remember… Read more
Meeting the Man That Started It All
Today I got to meet the man that really started me on this path of finding a way to take people, who may not have access otherwise, on my adventures with me. His name is Henry Evans and by chance, he happens to live about 20 mins from me. I emailed him a few weeks… Read more
Wilder Ranch State Park

Maine Adaptive Adventures
So it’s been awhile since I have written but I really have been busy with more adventures thanks to Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation and Paradox Sports. Unfortunately, I keep neglecting to take pictures at these events and I think it makes a blog a little boring without pictures. So I got a few this… Read more
