I grew up in a family of skiers in Colorado. We downhilled skied on the weekends and went on cross country country ski outings when time allowed. I continued to ski more and more until college where I started backcountry skiing. I built a ski ramp in my backyard with some rails to scratch the itch for skiing when I couldn't get into the mountains. Following college, I moved to Utah to chase the "Greatest Snow on Earth" and see for myself what the hype was all about. I've tried out a variety of gear over the past 20+ years, and know what works and what doesn't. I go hard on my gear so I am always trying out new gear and recommending the best to my friends. I've skiied 26+ resorts in the US and Canada in all types of conditions.

Outside of skiing, I work as an engineer for an aerospace company, but my true passion is being in the mountains. I love to climb, mountain bike and camp whenever possible.

I'd love to share my knowledge on gear with you and help make this the best winter yet!
