CURRENT MISSION

To fully appreciate this amazing gift of life and all the people and places it brings me to.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Firefighter for the state of Utah. I'm kinda tied up between a career track and a life of adventure, but I'm trying to find a way to do both.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an adventure or nothing at all. This is OUR story. As members of humanity we are both authors and participants. We decide how to define ourselves by the actions that we take. It is up to us to make the most out of the time we have been given.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the most amazing sunrise of my life from Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park during my successful summit attempt. I spent a night under the stars on a beach on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande with some good friends and a huge bon fire before running the rapids of St. Elias and losing 4 of our 6 boats (I got my boat through). Hiking for turns and epic powder days at Vail, Breck, Keystone, A Basin, Alta, and Aspen. Waking up in heaven at our backcountry hut as the sun rises over softly fallen snow. Being on the western side of the Sneffels Range at Sunset. Being awoken by the sound of 35 wolves howling about a hundred yards from my tent before sunrise on a chili morning. The list goes on...it is growing every day, forever shaping who I am as a person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Skiing is one of my biggest passions, so naturally, I love to teach people to ski.
