I’m just going to come out and say it. Last week I launched a giant weather balloon miles into the sky and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. There. Now that I have it off my chest, I can begin to go into a little more detail about the weather adventure [...]

Outsiders in Nome.
It was a strange feeling being in the shoes of the person who acts as a tour guide of Nome. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that former volunteer, Matt, was walking me down the streets of Nome showing me the Subway, post office, and Nome’s unofficial mascot, Velvet Eyes the pet reindeer. [...]
Always Wear Sunscreen.
You step outside with your layers of warm cotton, rain resistant nylon, and cozy wool to breathe in a clean, crisp, breath of ocean air. Welcome to your morning in Nome. For my first few weeks here, the smell of ocean air paired with the chilly atmosphere totally baffled my senses. I would [...]

Just over a month ago you might have been able to find me traversing a waterway in Eastern Tennessee in chest-high waders collecting samples of water discharges. Just a year before that you could have found me in the wilderness of Northern California decked out in wildland firefighting gear cutting fire lines up a mountainside. [...]
