Combining my passion for climbing and education, I enjoy teaching and helping climbers learn the most efficient technical and movement skills in the vertical world. I'm originally from New England and now live in Ridgway, in the heart of the rugged San Juan mountains, with my wife and forever puppy, Shakti. I'm a full spectrum climber and guide; from beautiful frozen waterfalls in the winter, wild desert towers in the spring and fall, to escaping the heat on long alpine climbs in Alaska, Washington and Colorado.
