ABOUT ME

I am a Washington native. Most my travels are related to guiding mountains. I began guiding in the Northwest in 2001. Now Im an IFMGA Guide with the American Mountain Guidea Ascociation .

When not personal climbing across the US I divided my time guiding extensive Alpine, Ice, Rock and Ski trips in the Cascades, Sierras, and Colorado’s San Juans. My shoulder seasons are typically spent by annual spring migrations to Alaska to alpine and ski guide in the Alaska and Chugach ranges, rock guide in Red Rock NV and Joshua Tree CA, or high altitude mountaineering in Nepal.

My personal interests are alpinism and ski mountaineering descents in areas that still need exploring. On his days off he explores the undiscovered corners of his back yard — the North Cascades and San Juan Mountains.
