ABOUT:

I have been fortunate to call Jackson, Wyoming my home since I was born. I love to be in the mountains because they are wild, raw, beautiful and will forever be the home in my heart. I love La Sportiva because it gives me the footwear I need to get into tough terrain to explore, run, and play.
