ABOUT:

I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana but currently live in Boulder, Colorado where I now call home. What motivates me to go to the mountains is the joy climbing brings and the thrill of projecting moves on a climb. I love the tranquility and peacefulness the mountains bring and the feeling of accomplishing goals. In addition, I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new cultures through climbing. I have been climbing for eleven years and this is my seventh year as a La Sportiva ambassador. I couldn’t have accomplished any of my goals without them – thanks La Sportiva!

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. Sending “The Kind Traverse” (v11) – Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
2. Sending “Running Scared” (v11) – Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
3. Sending “Finger Hut” (v10) – Joes Valley, Utah
4. Flashing Ministry of Truth (v9/10) – Hueco Tanks, Texas
5. The moment I found out I could do 6 consecutive one-arm pull ups at age 16
