Biography

I grew up snowboarding until my interest in exploring grew beyond the ski area boundary. Ski touring seemed to be the only reasonable way to get to the places I wanted to go. I have progressed from a back of the pack racer with the ‘I just want to finish,’ attitude to winning three consecutive US Ski Mountaineering Championships in both the individual and teams races and being a member of the U.S. National Ski Mountaineering team. Although I love training for and competing in races, my real passion is for exploring new mountain ranges, both near and far on skis, bike, and foot.
