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.

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.

Great question. Here's the reality plain and simple. Our lives have become too sedentary.
Human_Powered_Movement_Kids_Playing_In_Nature
Humans are supposed to be active participants in the world around us but our present-day conveniences have drastically reduced human activity from our lives. Human Powered Movement's goal is to fight back. Our mission is facilitate greater human powered experiences in all of us. 

​I'm a gratefully exhausted father of 2 young knuckleheads, and each time we go to the park or play in the stream behind the house, it reminds me of the wholesome benefits that are ripe for the picking through unencumbered human movement in our natural environments. Excitement, wonder, a rush of endorphins, accomplishment … the list goes on.
