I'm Hugh’s cousin.  I’m the one that had to put up with him when he was little, always wanting to tag along on all the adventures.  What made him a pain in my butt as a kid has helped turn him into the fascinating adult he is today.  He always had the bright ideas (some that still have me questioning how he avoided the emergency room).  His imagination was never-ending.  And, he had a way about him that could charm just about anybody no matter the situation (his ability to talk himself out of just about anything was unbelievable and irritating all at the same time-reminds me a lot of Cole from Molly Fyde).

Although our closeness faded as we became adults, I have continued to follow his adventures through family members.  He never ceases to amaze me.  And now, as he has embarked on yet another adventure, one that is easily surpassing all expectations, I can say that I knew him way back when he was just a scrawny little boy who wasn’t afraid to try anything.  Congratulations, Hugh!

Oh, and I have a gorgeous siberian husky named Eli.
