I've called a dozen places on three continents home.

This site is a small glimpse of an incredible planet, and an invitation to go explore it.

Places I've called home

Mount Currie above the Pemberton valley British Columbia Pemberton Winters under Mount Currie: sleds, deep powder and a valley full of friends. A heavy North Shore wave breaking at golden hour Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi The North Shore Winter swells, salt and island time on Oʻahu's North Shore.

The name behind Manawolf

Mana

A wild wolf I met at Skookumchuck Hot Springs in British Columbia, and my closest companion for twelve years across western North America and Hawaiʻi. She would observe dogs rather than be one. Manawolf is named for her.
