I was born in Montana and raised in a family chock full of mountain people. The pursuit of adventure has had a significant impact on me from my earliest days, and my most treasured memories are those of joining my father or mother on numerous trips to hunt, fish and backpack in remote and beautiful mountains. 

Today, I am an avid ski mountaineer, adventure kayaker and backpacker and have a background in competitive cycling. I spent my teenage years living on the bike and eventually made my way to Europe where I lived and raced.  

Professionally, I am an ad agency veteran turned freelance Creative Director, and for the last few years have been focusing on helping brands in the outdoor / action sports category execute everything from integrated brand campaigns, product development and launches, to contemporary interactive initiatives.
