I am a retired Army Veteran who moved to Colorado following my wife’s career. I enjoy raising two teenage boys and being a great husband.

I am a United States Army Veteran. I moved back to Colorado after separating because of my love for the Rocky Mountains. I graduated in 2018 from University of Colorado with a degree in Strength and Conditioning. I currently study at Colorado Mountain College in Leadville with a focus in Outdoor Recreation Leadership. My current certifications are Wilderness First Responder, AIARE Level 1 and Rescue, ACA SwiftWater Rescue, BackCountry Navigation, LNT Trainer, AHA CPR and First Aid, and Mental Health First Aid. I currently volunteer as a member of Lake County Search and Rescue, amongst other organizations. I enjoy Mountain Biking, backpacking, whitewater rafting, skiing, and speed flying/ paragliding. I really enjoy anything outdoors with my two cattle dogs by my side.
After spending my childhood vacationing in Breckenridge and my early adulthood as a Sailor traveling the world, I knew the mountains were where I needed to be upon separating from the Navy in 2020. After a quick couple of years living in Denver and getting fed up with I-70 traffic, I found myself moving to Steamboat Springs and earning an Intro to Ski Guiding Level 1 certificate from Colorado Mountain College, as well as Wilderness First Responder, AIARE 1 and Rescue, Backcountry Navigation, and CPR/AED. Most of my time is spent outdoors running, skiing, snowboarding, practicing yoga or packrafting when I’m not working my day job at Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports helping those with disabilities enjoy everything Mother Earth has to offer. You can also find me nerding out on my latest passion, beekeeping!
