AMGA Rock Guide

City: Brighton

Province: UT

Bio: I grew up and gained an appreciation for the outdoors going to summer camp in the Saratoga mountains in California. I furthered these interests on a NOLS semester after high school and have found passion and meaning in my life through climbing, its community, and the opportunity to share it with others. I first cut my teeth climbing old school crimpfests at Smith Rock, OR, and now my wife and I call the desert of Southern Utah home. I have worked as a commercial climbing guide and in wilderness therapy. I love facilitating meaningful, intentional, memorable, safe, and fun experiences in wild places.
