My professional and personal conduct is underpinned by a core philosophy centered on curiosity and interest. These 'archvalues' shape everything I do, from architecting enterprise storage solutions to leading outdoor expeditions. They drive my approach to the world, shaping my decision-making, interactions, and responses to challenges.
These foundational forces are supported by core values that guide my interactions and decisions:
- Building trust through honesty and integrity
- Approaching challenges with humility and respect
- Sharing knowledge with generosity and compassion
- Maintaining authenticity in all endeavors
Through an ongoing journey of personal and professional growth, these values have evolved.

This evolution underscores the dynamic nature of personal and professional ethics, constantly adapting to new insights and experiences.
These values aren't just words on a page - they're demonstrated through my work, whether I'm designing technical solutions for clients, leading groups in the mountains, or building communities around shared interests.
