Bio: Co-Owner of Atlanta Rock Climbing Company in Atlanta, GA. Climbing and working in the outdoors is my life passion. My purpose in life is to inspire others to succeed in life through my own love and knowledge of the outdoors. I have been climbing and working in the climbing/outdoor industry for 10+ yrs. Before transitioning primarily into a Civil Engineering career I managed a rock climbing gym for 5+ years. My climbing resume includes multiple Colorado 14ers(Capitol Peak, South Maroon, and Snowmass Mt.), several summits of Mt. Rainier, climbing in Squamish, B.C., East Face/Left Side Cracks and South Buttress on Pingora in Cirque of the Towers, Solar Slab and Ginger Cracks in Red Rocks, Trifecta in Linville Gorge and a summit attempt of Mt. Waddington. My future personal climbing goals include climbing Mt. Mckinley(Alaska), Mt. Adams in Washington State, Mt. Hood in Oregon, Liberty Ridge route on Mt. Rainier, Kuatz Glacier route on Mt. Rainier, Mt. Everest in Nepal, climbing the Nose in Yosemite, and alpine climbing in Patagonia. Along with climbing I am an avid trail runner and have done many 50k ultra-marathons. A future trail running goal of mine is to complete the SCAR this coming Spring which is running the 70 miles through the Smoky Mountains along the Appalachian Trail in under 24hrs.
