So stoked to receive the 2016 @shift_jh Adventure Athlete Award for my contributions to conservation through human-powered recreation. Shift is an annual conference about adventure and conservation, uniting natural allies around the common goal of protecting the places we play. Hearing from all the diverse voices there made me realize I have so much to learn, from the younger folks, from the older folks, and from those who come from different backgrounds, places and cultures. When we come together to listen and learn, we are stronger, and I can't wait to continue and collaborate on all the work ahead. Thank you to all the folks and organizations who attended for all the inspiration.
