ABOUT ME:

I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan but now reside in Salt Lake City, UT where I found my passion for mountain sports and technical objectives. Combining aerobic fitness with skiing, running, and climbing in the mountains is when I am most energized. Objectives that include a variety of skills feel like puzzles you may never fully solve perfectly. And maybe that’s the point—you’re never done learning in mountain sports, and that’s what keeps me excited.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

2024 | FKT on Mont Blanc (round trip on skis) 
2024 | Skiing the North face of Chimborazo (20,549) as one of the first parties to do so 
2023 | Sub 24 hours Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup

Lines such as the Ford-Stettner on the Grand Teton, Middle Teton East Face/Glacier Route, Pinner Colouir in the Sierra, and some at-home classics like Lisa Falls, Hypodermic Needle, or Lightning Bolt chute

Q+A: 

Who is your favorite skiing partner?

Jack Kuenzle has been my main ski partner in recent times and we have built a very strong partnership via hours and hours on glaciers and steep ski lines together. He is my favorite partner because he is ambitious, knows how to get things done, but maintains a fun and whimsical side that makes our days out really enjoyable.
