ABOUT:

Growing up in the Rocky Mountains above Idaho Springs, Colorado, has seeded me with ambitions to test my limits in all aspects of climbing. Whether it's alpinism, bigwall, traditional, bouldering, or sport, I'm psyched to give it my all! The most special experiences are when I'm faced with a challenge that demands each of these skills in some capacity, and it's these objectives that create the compass for my life.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. Cerro Torre - Southeast Ridge [5.12- C1 (or 5.13a) WI5 M3 R,] free as can be (Nov 2025)
