Living to Die?
Some of you may be wondering what influenced me to be and do what I do. Well, truth be told, I get to do what I love so often because my family has supported me throughout it all. I have my sister Tiffinie, whom is an amazing wildlife photographer. I also have my dog, Dudley. But the most influential people in my life were most definitely my parents. They are the ones who always made sure I got back up after I fell and provided me with words of encouragement when I needed them the most. My parents are no longer living in this world, but I know they are still here watching over me.
Tiffinie Tollen
My sister Tiffinie Tollen is pretty awesome. If you get the chance, I encourage you to check out her work. Tiffinie and I were not always close when we were yonger, but our strong love for one thing has united us, traveling. We share a mutual love for traveling and value it's ability to shape ones character.
Dudley
Dudley is my little shadow. Wherever I go, he goes. He enjoys long walks in the park, never-ending games of fetch, and warm sweet potato-infused dog food.
In memory of my parents
There's nothing like a parents love. These two were my backbone and extremely supportive of my outlandish stunts and numerous sporting events. I cannot thank them enough for their love and support and endless energy to keep up with me at every age. If you are reading this, call your parents right now. Tell them how much you love them. They need to understand how appreciative you are because its not an easy task to raise a family.
