How long have you been an athlete with La Sportiva?

1 year

To climb V13 and 5.14+ consistently.

Do you have a claim to fame?

None that I know of.

Do you have any vices?

Coffee

What makes you tick as a climber and in the real world?

Traveling and meeting new people. I think it is crazy that some people live their entire lives without ever leaving their town or state. There's too much to do and see to be stuck in one place forever.

What drives you to climb? The money? The groupies? The fame? What?

I love climbing because it is a challenge and you are always progressing. It is the ability to see yourself get better, not just stronger, that I really like.

What is your favorite movie?

Anchorman

Do you have any nicknames? Explain:

'Homie'...I lived at the red for a season and was the only connoisseur of rap music that resided there.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without sleep? Why?

24 hours or so. Driving from Illinois to Utah my girlfriend started out driving and we switched at night. I drove through the night and arrived in Denver at 6 am. We ate breakfast and switched drivers but I was too psyched to fall asleep.

If you had to be named after one of the 50 states, which would it be?

Illinois I suppose

What did you have for lunch yesterday?

Pizza

If you could hook up a thought monitor to your head, would you see pictures, hear words or would music be playing?

You'd see pictures that would be accompanied by a random soundtrack mix.

What really scares you about climbing?

That anything can happen no matter how safe you are.

If your life was made into a movie, what would it be called?

Story of My Life?? I have no idea

Where would you live if it could be anywhere in the world?

The road but I'd have a home base in the southeast.

Have no food or have no gasoline?

No gasoline. I get grumpy if I don't eat.

Do you wish you had sexier feet?

Nah...the Testarossas and Solutions do wonders to cover up the ugliness of my feet.
