ABOUT ME:

I was raised in Buena Vista, Colorado, at the base of some of the highest mountains in the lower 48, surrounded by people who were passionate for life in outdoor spaces. This foundation continues to inspire me to push myself in the mountains. I'm passionate about conserving our planet's wilderness and treading lightly through our mountain environments.
