What plans do you have for the winter break?
I am going to take my family skiing a few times in the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire. I also plan on doing some winter hiking in the White Mountains in New Hampshire on my quest to hike all of the 48 four thousand-foot peaks. I plan on spending a lot of time out in the fresh air of the wilderness all around New England.
What career plan do you have after you complete the MTA Program?
I plan on working with developing nations and underserved communities to help them unlock their potential for development through the promotion of their unique tourism products.
What is an unusual talent that you have?
I know how to safely hike and camp overnight in sub-zero temperatures on mountains. It comes down to the gear that you have!
