Outdoor & Adventure
Athlete and outdoorsperson rooted in the Pacific Northwest. I move from experience, not a script.
Background
I grew up at the gateway to the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood. Outdoor life was never a hobby. It was just how things were.
My father introduced me to the field, terrain, and the outdoors from a young age. Over the years I have built on that foundation through endurance running, alpine mountaineering, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and time on the water. I know how to read conditions, manage a group, and stay composed when things get hard.
At camp, I co-led mountain biking excursions for diverse groups of youth in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, which gave me a framework for translating personal competency into guided experiences for people of all skill levels. That is the work I find most meaningful.

Years of buying, repairing, and reselling outdoor and powersports equipment — dirt bikes, ATVs, kayaks, paddleboards, bikes. I know how gear works. Also built and converted a gas dirt bike into an electric — stripped the frame, modified and fitted components, and got it running. Motorcycle license endorsed.

Skills & Activities
Backcountry hiking and alpine mountaineering across the Pacific Northwest. Comfortable on day and overnight routes in variable mountain conditions. Drawn to high places, summit chasing, sunset views.
Co-led mountain biking excursions for my unit groups at Cheley Colorado Camps. Hands-on mechanical experience from years of dirt bike and MTB work, including a full electric dirt bike conversion.
Completed a solo 48-mile ultra marathon — 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours straight. 2 full marathons and 15+ half marathons.
4 seasons across Mt. Hood, Timberline, Ski Bowl, and Mt. Bachelor. Comfortable in variable winter terrain and conditions.
Grew up around hunting, introduced to the field by my father. Have field experience including hunting and harvesting a bull elk. Completed youth firearms safety training, ATV rider safety certified, and motorcycle license endorsed.
Some experience with kayaking and paddleboarding, plus solid gear knowledge from years of sourcing, repairing, and reselling water sports equipment across Oregon.
Experience
Co-led mountain biking trips, team/camp sports games, and camping excursions for diverse groups of youth in the Rocky Mountains. Guided riders of all skill levels on technical trails, delivered safety briefings, and ensured every camper had a memorable, safe experience in remote high-altitude environments.
Advised customers on bike fit, gear selection, and equipment across a full range of outdoor and fitness products. Built rapport with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels while developing strong product knowledge across bikes and outdoor gear.
Sourced, evaluated, repaired, and resold 15+ dirt bikes, 5+ ATVs, and 150+ consumer goods including paddleboards, kayaks, rafts, bikes, furniture, and weightlifting equipment across 150+ transactions. Developed strong working knowledge of powersports and outdoor equipment through hands-on experience.
Projects
A gym accessory that securely mounts phones and personal items directly on strength training equipment. Identified a problem, built a physical prototype, and validated it with OSU recreation facilities. An example of my desire to create solutions to problems I noticed in my environment.
Formulated an eco-friendly ski wax from animal fats and natural materials including bison tallow, goose fat, and beeswax blends with zero petroleum or paraffin. Developed from scratch through 50+ formula prototypes, with separate on-snow testing to evaluate glide performance and durability, and packaged in biodegradable materials.
Personal
A big part of my time outdoors is not attached to a goal or a summit. I do a lot of day hiking across the Pacific Northwest just for the enjoyment of it. Drawn to views, sunset light, quiet trails, and places that feel far from everything. I also spend a lot of time walking in nature with my dog, not always a destination, just moving through good terrain and taking it in.
This kind of low-stakes time outside is something I value and come back to consistently. It is where a lot of the connection to the outdoors actually lives for me.
