Hello, my name is Jason Kells. I am a Junior at UAF, but taking this course from Lino Lakes, MN. I am taking this course as a general requirement for my Emergency Management degree. Besides the fair amount of domestic and Canadian traveling my only geographical education comes from course I had to take in my pre-collegiate education (I am fairly good orienteering, not in way of the sport but more as backpacking and paddle camping). To date I have been to 33 states and 9 of the 14 Canadian provinces. I am a dual citizen of the two countries. I look forward to learning about the world with y'all.
