Introduction	I made a promise to my self a long time ago that I would do what I love and follow my dreams. During that pursuit have climbed, kayaked, biked, and lived it up in some of the most beautiful places in the world. I have lived near the mountains since I was a boy and made a point to continue to do so. My family is one of the most important things to me. Many of the things I have learned in life, I have learned from them. Whenever I am away on a trip they are what bring me home. I plan to continue working in the outdoor industry. My favorite part about my job is getting people to do things they never thought possible. Taking someone up a mountain or a technical rock route, watching them stand on top, realizing their accomplishment is the greatest pay check of all. In the years to come I hope to continue my AMGA certification and attend graduate school. Both of these venues will allow me to do what I love for as long as my body allows.
