ABOUT:
Originally from the flat and humid land of Louisiana but currently based out of Denver, Colorado -- I discovered rock climbing when I moved to Colorado for grad school and haven't looked back since! The pure movement of climbing (especially bouldering) combined with the deep and cathartic connection to nature keeps me psyched to get out and climb. I have my PhD in biomechanics and so learning and sharing nitty gritty details on climbing movement is something I love.
PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
2015| Continually pursuing excellence and winning awards in the male dominated industry of engineering (public speaking & research awards, NSF fellowship, commencement address)
2020| Completing my PhD in Biomechanics at Colorado School of Mines
2020| Getting the opportunity to learn to routeset while living in The Netherlands
2021| Starting my company, CRIMP Labs, focused on high-level movement analysis and training for climbers
