Hi! My name is Jacob Earle.
I have known James and Nels since 2009 when I started as a young, inexperienced but passionate student at Williamsburg Academy. I graduated from the Academy last year and have since been working as a Leadership Coach at Williamsburg Intermediate.
I have over 3,000 unread emails in my inbox. My nickname as a tween was Andre The Giant. Yes. I love The Princess Bride. Yes. I was a six foot tall thirteen year old.
There's two reasons I'm going on this seminar. (There is really a million. But I'll spare you.) The awesome people and the awesome location. Put the two together and it just looks fantastic! I cannot wait to be out in Yosemite and learning together as we forge our way through the beautiful scenery.
I preach the value and importance of the information age but I also believe that as we devote more energy to the virtual, we need to balance it with spending more energy in the outdoors.
Julia Howard and I have been preparing to become leaders in outdoor education. This seminar is a step (leap?) in the right direction and I know for me, there's no place I'd rather be! Can't wait to see you all out there!
