Biography

I grew up around Philadelphia and began climbing when I was 8 years old, only to discover outdoor bouldering 10 years later in the Pennsylvania crags of Haycock and Gretna, at which point I truly fell in love with rock climbing. I currently split my time between studying Political Science at Colorado College and bouldering in the nearby Front Range and South Platte. I first ascended the first v14 in Eastern Pennsylvania, amongst a few other proud FA’s, before heading to Colorado and climbing a few boulders of the v15 grade in the state. My aspirations nowadays revolve around always improving and learning new ways to improve my climbing as well as growing me and my brother’s YouTube channel - ultimately to create an outlet for the increased representation of POC in the climbing community.
