About

I was exposed to mountain culture in my college days at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and spent countless summers planting roots as a mountain guide in Grand Teton National Park. My passion for rock climbing takes me to the southwest every spring and fall frequenting areas like Indian Creek near Moab Utah and Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas. In the winter, you can usually find me in the Tetons hunting for untouched powder and teaching snow science.
