Raised in the Rocky Mountains of western Colorado, I have been an outdoorsman for my entire life. My passion and reverence for the outdoors is what drove me to pursue a BS from Colorado State University in natural resource management & global environmental sustainability.

I spend the majority of my free time backcountry skiing and chasing winter storms across the northern hemisphere in search of the deepest snow I can find. In the few months when snow is hard to come by, I enjoy teaching friends and family members the finer points of backpacking, freshwater fishing, and big game hunting.
