ABOUT:

I live in the upper corner of the Pacific Northwest in Bellingham, Washington where I train among the evergreens in the pursuit of finding out what I am capable of physically and mentally. This is my 8th year with love La Sportiva and I continue to be inspired by the high-quality gear, the integrity and specialization of the company, and the athletes.
