    What if I were to tell you the conventional career intelligence publicly available surrounding careers in construction has mostly held you back? 
    This is the case for a few reasons. First, it’s incomplete and missing context. Second, it doesn’t provide a holistic approach to career development. And third, it’s missing all the internal work that’s first required to achieve career success, because we live from the inside out. 
    You could spend years accruing bits and pieces of career intelligence for the construction industry, and that’s what it has taken me. I will fast-track that for you, by guiding, inspiring, and directing you to achieve more recognition, higher compensation and faster career progression. 
    Are you ready to start construction on the greatest project you'll ever work on?

    In the footsteps of Desert Solitaire, these essays by an award-winning writer and student of culture sift decades of experience backpacking and boating for a stance that questions the mainstream. More than mere tales of bravado, they offer glimpses into the heart of the places explored, with the Grand Canyon as their center of gravity. Vivid, finely crafted, shot through with humor, self-effacing while deeply opinionated, No Walk in the Park shows what it means to meet nature on nature's terms. Listen at home in an armchair, or at a river camp, or before you go wandering. 
     
     
     
    Join this author on a night hike to the great chasm's bottom; trek forty days in his company below one rim, or snowshoe the other; visit a Hopi mesa for a ceremony; marvel at hidden rock art; sip epic solitude; tag threatened fish; and float next to Glen Canyon's slickrock or below Niagara-size fleeting falls.

    Moonlight bathes the mountain shrine. Wind howls across the desert landscape. 
    Finn enters the ruined structure, limbs weak and eyes glazed. Images of foul, perverse acts adorn the walls. A stone altar awaits a sacrifice. 
    A dark force calls this place home. The time has come to receive its blessing. 
    But a price must be paid. 
    Absolute devotion. Absolute subjugation. 
    Finn strips nude and falls to his knees. 
    The ritual begins.
