I love what I do and how I spend my time. Professionally, I co-own and serve as CEO of North Mass Boulder, one of the largest indoor bouldering gyms in the USA. Personally, I’m a loving father to my daughter and value building deep, meaningful connections with friends. When I can line it up, I enjoy skiing in the backcountry and climbing in the alpine. Simply put, adventuring is my passion, and I find meaning in sharing these experiences with others. I believe the world needs more risk-taking and less predictability.

Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, where I grew up and went to school, I was never afraid to leave my comfort zone and expand my horizons. In 2010, I relocated to Seattle, Washington, drawn by the Pacific Northwest culture and the allure of coast mountain adventures. While I don't take myself too seriously, I take what I do seriously. I value surrounding myself with people who challenge me to grow personally, professionally, expand my outdoor abilities, and invite me to expand my consciousness. As a father, I believe in the importance of putting my daughter in challenging situations and experiences, balancing those moments with compassion and empathy. I want her to learn resilience and confidence, knowing that growth often comes from stepping outside her comfort zone while feeling supported and understood.

I appreciate those who think critically, challenge social norms, and make fun a daily practice. Relationships that push me to rethink the obvious and take calculated risks inspire me. I aim to foster a culture of innovation and adaptability at North Mass Boulder, where risk-taking is encouraged, and new ideas are valued. These connections also encourage me to explore beyond my comfort zone in the mountains. By surrounding myself with people who question the familiar, I’m reminded that growth and fulfillment often lie in embracing the unpredictable and striving for something greater. I hope to live a life of continuous learning and continue playing outside until I am really, really, really old.
