In early 2014, I made the commitment to living the dirtbag lifestyle. That is, living in my custom campervan and traveling the U.S. to iconic climbing and snowboarding areas.

I saved as much money as humanly possible while continuing my career as a Systems Engineer.

In October 2014, I bought a van. A 1-ton, Ford Econoline E-350 with a 6.0 diesel engine.

In December 2014, I quit my job and set out on my own.
