AS a kid I spent many summers in Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Colorado. They were unforgettable days spent walking the forests and climbing peaks.
The lessons I learned from being in the wild, with friends, have lasted a lifetime. Lessons about pushing outside of my comfort zone to achieve a goal, working as part of a team and knowing to admit defeat and resolve to try again another day.
Those summers were the foundation for much of what I have pushed for in my life.
Gus will be going to wild places as he grows up. He will not be one of the millions of children afflicted with "Nature Deficit Disorder" and I can't wait to enjoy the journey down life's path together.
