“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” -John Muir

As a business owner life can be described as complicated, crazy, hectic, busy, ever-changing, on-the-go, etc. So sometimes you need to take the time to simply recharge. We all seek that elusive ‘Life Balance’, and as an outdoor, adventure lover, I choose to do so outside, often on a rock somewhere and I look to other outdoor enthusiasts for inspiration all the time.
