About me

Born and raised in north Florida, I grew up in the Scouts and the swamps, rivers and occasional mountains of the region. Picked up some distance running, taken to trails, marathon, and Ragnar races. Moved to San Francisco several years ago for The Nature Conservancy, and have since moved onto The North Face. Did a pandemic move to Philadelphia, so very excited to get involved in the world of snow! The variety of outdoor activities in the area make the city a unique center for outdoorsmanship that's hard to replicate anywhere!
