About
I am an avid rock climber, skier and backpacker, eager to share the beauty and power of the the natural world with communities and individuals from all walks of life: particularly those who have found the outdoor world difficult to access. Outside of guiding, I work as a social worker, and am also excited about combing my therapeutic practice with rock guiding. Furthermore, I am interested in adaptive sports for individuals with physical and mental differences. Outdoor adventure provides a great sense of confidence, self understanding and purpose that should be available to everyone: regardless of ability. The outdoor world has played an immeasurable role in my personal development. I now feel that it is my responsibility to share outdoor pursuits, thus empowering others and fostering an appreciation for, and desire to protect, our wild areas.
