Looking back at Mount Olympus, the highest point in Olympic National Park, was the highlight of a week- long backpacking trip I did last summer. This meadow was my favorite section of the trip; no people to be seen and on high alert for bears. The meadow seemed to be untouched by humans.

Growing up in NH, surrounded by the outdoors, has shaped me into the person I am today. From a young age, I was always outside and found my passion for climbing and skiing. I love the places it takes me, the challenge of it, and the friendship/partnerships that have formed as a result. When I have free time, you will find me seeking out these adventures far off the beaten path in the beauty of the mountains.
I feel very fortunate to have been working in the outdoor industry my whole working career and love that I can share my passion for the outdoors with others. Being on the Alta Group team gives me the opportunity to work with an amazing group of like-minded individuals while being able to travel in the most beautiful corner of the country! I call Bellingham WA home now where I live with my wife Hannah.
