Blake is an explorer, driven by his intellectual curiosity to understand the human experience through poetry, travel, and the perspectives of great novelists, thinkers, and researchers. This ethos manifests in his openness to new ideas, willingness to try new activities, and his natural aptitude for learning things quickly. From growing up on a small farm in rural Alabama to adventuring all over the globe, Blake never hesitates to seek out challenges that expand his perspective — whether it’s traveling across the Sahara on camel-back, surfing in Sourthern California, snowboarding in the Swiss Alps, snorkeling off of a remote Caribbean island, cliff diving in Puerto Rico’s rainforests, or anything in between. These adventures are not just about thrill-seeking for Blake; they are an avenue for personal growth and a means to connect with different cultures, philosophies, and ways of life. His willingness to step outside his comfort zone combined with an introspective outlook on each experience continually broadens his understanding of the world and human nature.
