Mountain Athlete, Guide, Coach
Boulder, COIt doesn't matter how many times you fall down; get back up and keep moving forward.
I am an athlete specializing in mountain sports. With a 10+ year background in competitive ultrarunning, I now uses that endurance and drive to not only pursue running but also a variety of climbing styles, as well as backcountry skiing. I enjoy moving efficiently through the mountains whether that be on skis; rock, ice, or mixed climbing; running, or combo of them all. When I'm not out pursuing my own projects, you can find me mentoring others in the outdoors.
