In My Own Words

I'm a connoisseur of the backcountry and an adventure sport enthusiast to my core who's every decision is heavily influenced by the ever-growing need for environmental and social responsibility. I utilize my technical and business backgrounds along with my outdoor experience to further innovate and develop products to remove the barrier for what is achievable through human exploration. I believe the needs for environmental improvement and product development are the same, and should be treated as such. Most days you'll catch me climbing, skiing, biking, running, backpacking, paddle boarding, practicing yoga, or anything else outside.
