Tell Us About Yourself

I was born & raised in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains. Growing up, I had ample opportunity to recreate, explore, and just live fully. I currently split my time chasing whitewater in the summer months working as a whitewater kayak instructor and skiing in the winter months working as a backcountry ski guide in Utah & Alaska.

What's One Thing That You Think Everyone Should Try Once?

Getting out into the wild and unplugging for 2-3 weeks.
