ABOUT:

I am a climber, skier, and runner living in Squaw Valley, California.  I love to experience the mountains in all forms and seasons and La Sportiva has been with me throughout my entire journey - starting at age 11 (21 years ago!) and has played a crucial role in my climbing and mountain life since the very beginning.  Sportiva products have always been the very best, and continue to add confidence and instill trust in what I do day in and day out.  

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. Climbing the grade 5.14 for 14 years, since 2005 (age 19), culminating in my hardest sport route ever last year (Mind Control 14b/c at Oliana) at age 31.
2.Free Climbing “Golden Gate” on El Capitan (5.13b), 2015
3. Summit & Ski descent of Cho Oyu (Tibet, 6th tallest peak in the world), 2016 
4. 5x US National Sport Climbing Champion
5. Many failed attempts of routes and mountains all over the world that form the foundation of who I am as an athlete and human being.  (Nepal, Myanmar, Spain, Yosemite, Ecuador, etc etc etc)
