I am an avid hiker, runner, and climber who is passionate about physical fitness and the great outdoors. As an ultramarathoner and thru-hiker, I have a deep love for pushing my limits and exploring the natural world.

In addition to my passion for adventure and endurance sports, I'm also deeply committed to promoting mental health and wellness, and always seeking ways to understand the depths of the mind by digging deeper.

I'm just a guy who likes to spend time outdoors. Nothing makes me happier than a quiet morning in the mountains. Which I hadn't even begun to consider until a few years ago. Since then I've explored as much as I could on foot.

I am committed to getting people outdoors and out of their comfort zones. I believe in the power of community, the power of nature, and the power of doing hard things.
