About Me

ABOUT ME

Raised on the eastern plains of Colorado. Four years of school and two years of engineering work in Boulder. I was unhappy with my life, so I quit my job, moved, and have held a succession of jobs including trail crew, snowmaking, and wildland firefighting across Colorado.

I now plan on alternating between fighting fires in the summer, and making snow in the winter for the foreseeable future.

I host whenever I can, but my living situations don't always allow it as much as I would like.

I enjoy the outdoors in every context. Snowboarding, climbing, biking, hiking, boating... and music. I play guitar.
