ABOUT ME
"The mountains are [my] calling"
A New Yorker born and raised, I discovered my love for the outdoors at ten years old on a fly fishing trip to Montana with my dad. Since then, I've pursued adventure full time. from whitewater kayaking in Patagonia to long ski traverses in the central Alaska Range.
Now based in Boulder, Colorado, I'm proud to use my experience to help others safely live their own dream adventures. I strive to be a mentor, partner and co-conspirator; to help people find new goals, build the skills to meet them and have a ton of fun along the way!
