I’m endlessly exploring everything Northern California has to offer. Some of my favorite beaches are tucked along the Aptos coast, while the Santa Cruz Mountains are home to some of my most-accessible redwoods.

My favorite wilderness to return to is Desolation, but honestly, one of my favorite things about California is knowing there’s always another wilderness to discover. With more than 100 designated wilderness areas across the state, there’s no shortage of places to wander, explore, and get a little lost.

You can usually find me somewhere near an alpine lake or rotting along the Yuba River which is my greatest form of escape.

I’m always up for a paddleboard adventure, mountain biking, backpacking, chasing waterfalls, soaking in a hot spring, or taking a good old-fashioned road trip with nowhere specific to be.

For me, adventure doesn't always mean going farther or higher. Sometimes it means finding a beautiful place and staying awhile.

I believe being someone people can trust on the trail starts with knowing how to take care of yourself and others.

I’m certified in Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and am also a certified Forest Therapy Guide, combining practical wilderness skills with a deeper understanding of how time in nature can help us slow down, reconnect, and reset.

My goal is simple: to be someone you can trust out there in the wild.
