Personal ProfileNarayan, his wife, and their daughter are constantly camping, hiking, running, and biking in and around the forests of the North Oregon Coast. If you don't catch him outdoors with his family, you’ll probably find him in his woodworking shed playing with some hand tools and locally sourced lumber.
