I grew up in Philadelphia, and on the weekends my favorite thing to do was travel north to the Pocono Mountains. My parents, also outdoors enthusiasts, would bring my siblings and I up to the Mountains every chance they got, thus sparking and nurturing my love for nature and parks. This love carried through my adolescence, and straight on to college where I attended West Virginia University in the ‘Wild and Wonderful.’ During my college years, I jumped on the opportunities my school provided to camp and explore in Western Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia, Colorado and Utah. I don’t know how many of you have traveled to Utah, but I’d hope that everyone gets the chance to, because once I came home from that trip I thought, boy, I’m hooked!
