Our Environment is Fundamentally Important

1/25/2021

 
​Maybe it’s the way I was brought up. Born and raised in Montoursville, PA (pop. 4000), I was surrounded by lazy creeks, rolling ridgelines, hemlock riddled state game lands and what was assuredly a greater deer population than people. Maybe it’s because I’ve journeyed through 38-years of personal and professional paths that consistently intersect with environmental influences.

​Whatever the reasons, I have a soft spot in my heart for our natural world. I appreciate it, respect it, and love it. I want to raise awareness of it’s importance so that others can enjoy it for years to come.

Bikepacking the Huracan 300 Route

1/14/2021

 
Florida. The Sunshine State. Rest and relaxation at the beach, right? Wrong.
I am, however, refreshed and flying high from bikepacking the Huracan 300 route in Florida. The route was developed by Karlos Bernart  (Singletrack Samurai), and brought to my attention by Logan Watts (Bikepacking.com). It blew my mind. I want more immediately.
​​

Central Florida is stereotypically crawling with gators, bears, snakes, expansive horse farms and wildlife of all kinds, but it is also crawling with an excess of first class singletrack, endless stretches of hard packed (or deep sand) forest roads, and bountiful repurposed rail trails to be explored. Where do I start?

Inside the Human Powered Movement Logo

1/7/2021

 
Bold. Minimal. Direct. ​These are three foundational words used to launch the creative process of the eventual Human Powered Movement logo.
Happily, I am both a right and left brained person. I enjoy pouring over spreadsheets and digesting data to let numbers drive decisions (I track most of the Human Powered Movement challenges manually by the way). In other cases, I throw data out the window and let my gut feeling take the steering wheel.  This is how I approached the HPM logo.
