You might be wondering how I ended up in this situation.

To explain that, I have to take you back to the beginning, like, the very beginning.

At age 4 I jumped down the stairs in an attempt to fly. I did not in fact fly. At age 12 I joined a circus and from then until high school, I flung myself from great heights as an aerial artist in yet another attempt to fly. In high school I pole vaulted in yes, you guessed it, an attempt to fly. So that brings me to this photo when, on a whim, I decided I should go skydiving. And so I did. And it was awesome. For the first time ever, I was actually flying. Sort of. 

I love being outdoors, hiking, and adventure of all kind because at the end of the day, I want cool stories to tell. 

Speaking of stories, I’m a writer. I think writers get a bad rap for being boring sometimes. I try not to be boring, but I guess you’ll have to meet me to determine that for yourself. My email is amwittun@syr.edu  if you’d like to find out.
