People paving the way and making a mark for splitboard guiding here in the U.S., Eric Layton especially. Looking up to him to see what is achievable and what can be done really helped me follow my dreams. Eric was also a guiding light in helping me through the process of starting CSG. Everyday experience in the mountains whether it be spent with clients or friends also really helps to influence who I am as a guide and how I guide. Also a shout out to my family. Growing up in a family that was avidly outdoors and having friends of the like planted the seed at a young age and helped me to realize my true calling to pursue a career of playing in the outdoors.

I am looking forward to continuing to educate, guide, and perpetually fuel the stoke of splitboarding and winter backcountry travel. I'm also as always looking forward to exploring new zones and mountain ranges across the U.S and internationally.
