On his love for the great outdoors: “Being out in nature is a big part of the way I am the way I am today.

It’s kind of like that Creed song that says, ‘I don’t know if I’m ready/To be the man I have to be.’ Every day, you find yourself scratching your head, going, ‘Wow am I really? I guess I really am!'”
