I'm Sean. I'll introduce myself with a "trail resume".

I grew up backpacking, cross-country skiing, or snowshowing what felt like almost every other weekend, and caving and rock climbing less often. It was part of my families work and liesure for several generations, along with forestry, botany, and stewardship. Now, I enjoy volunteering outdoors to build access, preserve and restore the environment, enable others to do the same, build knowledge, and enable sustainable land management.

I like to do these in sign for several reasons. Now, the biggest one is social: I like it when Nadelle and I can both participate in all the chatter and socialization of the day.
