Biography
I have been in the mountains of Colorado for almost 4 years now and have taken up a bunch of sports. My main sport is trail/mountain running. I’ve been a runner for the majority of my life and switching it up to the mountains has been such a joy. There’s no other feeling like pushing hard uphill to stand on top of a summit and then to continue on the the next. A few of the achievements I’m most proud of are, setting a World Record in 2021 for the most vertical feet climbed in a single month (400,000 feet), being the first person to out and back the WURL (Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup), setting the FKT for the Mosquito-Tenmile Traverse as well as a few other handfuls of FKTs throughout the mountains. I’m mainly focused on linking up big mountains together rather it’s a few peaks or up to 50+. Going from one peak to the next over the course of hours or days is what inspires me to keep pushing further outdoors and to be my best.
