ABOUT:

I spent most of my life close to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and more recently the Wasatch and Uintah Ranges in Utah. Climbing came to me as something to do after I got laid off from my first job out of college in 2008, but is now a crucial part of my life. My favorite climbing is close to home, and I am lucky to call areas such as American Fork, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Joe's Valley, and St. George my "home" crags.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. Sending my first project, the Monkey Traverse at Flagstaff Mountain, v4/5.12, after 3 months of effort, in 80 degrees in direct sun, and not getting bit by a rattlesnake.
2. Redpointing my first 14a, Close Quarters Combat, Maple Canyon
3. Dead Souls 14a, American Fork Canyon
4. Riddles in the Dark v10, Rocky Mountain National Park
5. Une Pointe de Bleau v11, Hueco Tanks
