Hi, I’m Blake. Welcome to my little corner of the web.
🐿️ In a nutshell
I’m a traveling writer who designs and leads teen adventure programs.
I believe that a surprising number of kids don’t need school to become happy, competent, and successful adults—an idea I’ve expressed through books, podcast, public speaking, and beyond.
39 years old. California native. No permanent home base. Current owner of two touring bicycles and zero cars.
