Alex Aaker

I grew up in the midwest where I attended St Olaf College in Minnesota, majoring in Environmental Studies with a focus on the humanities. Following my graduation in May '09 I took an SCA internship in Lake Clark National Park in Alaska, and since then I've been involved with the SCA as a member of the Desert Restoration Corps, a high school crew leader, and now am looking forward to trail work on the Pacific Crest Trail. My family tells me I'll soon tire of sleeping on the ground and working out in the elements-- but that's something I look forward to most in this upcoming crew. I find that while many things are simplified living outdoors, relationships are stronger and more genuine in the woods.
