Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, the closest getaway to nature was Wisconsin. I would frequently visit Devils Lake and other places near the area to scramble around or swim in the lakes. It's very exciting to make full circle and get to show people what I love about this magical area.
My whole life, I have been passionate about movement and mind-body connection. Discovering climbing 3 years ago has ignited an even deeper love for playing around in nature. The ability to engage in the outdoors to challenge your physical and mental limitations is what I live for. It has allowed me to grow as a person individually, and connect with a community of like minded people.
When I'm not climbing I'm snowboarding, biking, slack-lining, paddling, hiking, jumping; I just like to move.
Looking forward to sharing my passion for the outdoors to people of all walks of life, and get people thinking differently about it. The more fun we have outside, the more we will want to take care of our Earth and everything that lives on it.
