Thank you so much for doing this with us! Can you tell us a bit about your “childhood backstory”? It all starts with my mother and father. I’m very fortunate to have them in my life, and together they planted the seed of adventure in my mind at a very young age. Especially in his younger years, my dad was an explorer and world-traveler. The stories he told my brother and I were always incredible and exciting — the places he’d been, the people he’d met, the sights he’d seen.
