Where are you located?
Atlanta, GA
How did you get interested in the outdoors?
My father, an Eagle Scout, introduced me to the outdoors at an early age. We did all things outdoors including camping, backpacking, canoeing, fishing, sailing, horseback riding, and traveling all over GA in his CJ7 Jeep.
Why do you think time outside is important?
I think it’s great to be able to leave the city, unplug, and explore the outdoors.
What are your favorite outdoor activities?
Backpacking, fly fishing, overlanding, and family camping.
What is your favorite 12 oz beverage to keep in the stash pocket of your hammock?
A cold beer!
What is your history with ENO gear?
I found myself frequently surrounded by ENO hammocks. So many of my friends had them but I was hesitant to get into them because I was always afraid I would fall. Then one weekend my family and I joined another family on a camping trip and they had two DoubleNest Hammocks. All of the kids were using them so I figured “why not!” They were so comfortable I went home and ordered one immediately.
Favorite ENO product(s)?
The Outdoor Afro DoubleNest Hammock Print!
Fun Fact?
