Welcome to Plan | Pack | Discover!

Hi, I’m Dave—an easygoing, go-with-the-flow adventure enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the outdoors and all the unexpected joys it brings. I was born and raised in Connecticut, where my love for nature started on quiet streamside fishing trips with my dad. These days, I call sunny Southern California home and spend my time exploring everything from the rugged Sierra Nevada to the windswept trails of Patagonia—plus catching waves along the coast whenever I can.

Why Plan | Pack | Discover?

While I may be laid-back by nature, I’ve learned that being well-prepared lets me stay spontaneous. When you’re ready for anything, you’re free to change course, chase a new trail, or handle whatever weather (or Mother Nature) throws your way. That’s why I created Plan | Pack | Discover—a tool born out of my habit of prepping adventures with a spreadsheet and checklist, not to restrict the fun, but to unlock it.

This platform is designed to help fellow adventurers—whether you’re just starting out or deep into your backcountry life—pack smarter and explore with more confidence.

Connect & Explore

I’m excited to connect with you through blog posts, social media, and the innovative packing tool, sharing experiences, tips, and the joy of discovering new places. My hope is to make you feel comfortable, provide valuable insights, and perhaps, help you see the world through a new, adventurous lens.

Looking ahead, the vision is to evolve this space into a comprehensive trip planning tool, ensuring you’re well-equipped and informed for all your future explorations.
